I don't understand why you would want to change en2 to en0 - what is the point of doing so?
AIX scans at boot time the buses and attached hardware and numbers the devices found this way. The first found network interface will become en0, the next one en1, etc.. But as these numbers are just that - numbers to set apart the various interfaces - there is simply no point in changing them. The interfaces could as well be named "Jones" and "Smith" or "yellow" and "green". The numbers do not constitute any "priority" or other functional difference between the interfaces.
admin_xor told you already how to change a single interface from en2 to en0. I would just like to add that you have to remove the original en0 first before renaming en2. After that you can run cfgmgr to rescan the hardware inventory and add the original en0 - now probably as en2.
I hope this helps.
