Is editing and renaming a file an effective way to wipe its original data from your drive?

Say I have a text or image file that I don’t want on my drive anymore, but I have an SSD, so there’s no way to effectively remove it. Can I remove its data by editing and saving it, say by deleting all the text for a text file, or opening an image in an editor and covering its old contents with something else, like a black brush or another pasted image, and then renaming it to obscure what it originally was?
