You want to look at the alias command.

'cp' binary usually present in /bin directory.
You can create the symbolic link for this binary with some other name..
look for the 'ln' command

To that end, if you choose to use the ln command instead of alias, remember to use the -s option, otherwise you will create a hard link and you don't want to really do that.

you can write an alias for any command , and put it in .bashrc..
