There's a project on sourceforge that already does what you stated 
needing to do (mv_lowercase and mv_spaces2underscore) but if you're 
doing it for a learning exercise you should be able to get some pointers 
since it is just a collection of bash scripts.

DESCRIPTION FROM SOURCEFORGE

File rename utils are robust bash hacks that enable various file 
renaming actions. These include upper, lowercase, and capitalized 
conversions, space removal,and a KDE-compatible trash can. Man page 
documentation is provided
