With others types, like classes or properties it works to rename object. But for individual I can't find such option.
Is it possible to rename individual without deleting and recreating it? And if not, why?

Renaming a named individual is the same as renaming any other entity from OWLAPI, so if you can't find it in the UI it might just be a missing functionality.
If you wish to write Java code with the owlapi, you can use OWLEntityRenamer.
Editing with an XML tool will also work, for XML formats - however the operations will be different for rdf/XML and owl/XML.
Plain text editing will also work. Pay attention to name changes that also change the namespace, though - it might require changes in the declared entities.

Another option is to create a slot "name" then go to the instance you created and give the name you wish. To display the instance with the name you just gave go to the instance browser->menu->select display slot->choose name.You can see here a screenshot which will make it clear!

In order to rename an individual or any other entity on Protégé you will need to click on the entity and choose: Refactor -> Rename Entity...
This will open the following dialog where you can enter the new name:
Another way of doing this is clicking the entity and then pressing Ctr + U, this shortcut will open the same dialog (and it's way faster if you have to rename many things).
Haven't found any capabilities to edit from UI, but it's possible to edit from any XML-editor
