date=`awk 'NR>5; END{print}' /home/home03/date.dat`
source_dir="/home/home01"
target_dir="/home/home02"
cd $source_dir
ls FrontOf_*.dat >>/tmp/abc.dat
file1=`grep "FrontOf*" /tmp/abc.dat
cp ${source_dir}/${file1} ${target_dir}
ls ${target_dir} | while read file1
do
pre=`echo ${file1} | cut -d"_" -f1`
post=`echo ${file1} | cut -d"_" -f3-4`
new_name1="${pre}_${date}_${post}"
mv $target_dir/$file1 $target_dir/$new_name1
done
Problem with this code is that it is renaming other files also that in present in target_dir.I just want to rename the two files that I copied from source to target directory.

If I understand your problem statement correctly, this should do what you want.
Code:
date=`awk 'NR>5; END{print}' /home/home03/date.dat`
source_dir="/home/home01"
target_dir="/home/home02"
## Here the core logic.
for i in `ls ${source_dir}/FrontOf_history*.dat`;do
fname=`basename $i|sed "s/\(.*\)\.*/\1"`
cp $i ${target_dir}/${fname}_${date}.dat
done
