Hola Rafael,

C-x C-q                             (enter WDired)
C-n | C-p   ...                     (move to first directory to
rename)
C-Space                             (set mark)
C-p C-p C-p ...                     (move to last directory to rename)
C-x r t                             (open rectangle)
XX -  [RET]                         (insert placeholder "XX")
M-S-<                               (move to beginning of buffer)
M-x query-replace-regexp-eval [RET] (in minibuffer)
XX [RET]                            (in minibuffer)
(format "%02d" (1+ \#)) [RET]       (in minibuffer)
!                                   (confirm all)
C-c C-c                             (exit WDired)

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
