Hi, 
You can remove ALL Exif metadata from the image using this menu item.
Image > Metadata > Remove Exif

You can selectively remove/edit some metadata using..
Image > Metadata > Edit Exif   (but not the file number)

If you are trying to remove just certain types of metadata such as "File Number" or "Image Number" try using the  command line tools exiv2 or exiftool. Make sure to backup, run some tests and read the man page first.

An example with my canon camera:
exiv2 -M"del Exif.Canon.ImageNumber" test.JPG 
or
exiftool -filenumber='1' test2.JPG  (this sets file number to #1)
