If you can afford using Smile (the other free editor for AppleScript), you may run the following script in Smile:
----------------- untested
set theFolder to [your_folder_path_here]
set theListOfFiles to (list files alias theFolder)
repeat with theFile in theListOfFiles
set theFile to contents of theFile
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of theFile
set theName to lowercase theName
tell application "Finder" to set name of theFile to theName
end repeat
-----------------
This is faster done in Smile because Smile proposes "list files" and "lowercase". More lengthy scripts will do the exact same job without Smile.
