While programmatically creating category, using the below code, i got a error

Category with the 'categorgyurl' url_key attribute already exists

code:

 $category = new Mage_Catalog_Model_Category();
 $category->setName('categorgyurl');
 $category->setUrlKey('categorgyurl');
 $category->setIsActive(1);
 $category->setDisplayMode('PRODUCTS');
 $category->setIsAnchor(0);


 $parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($root_catid);
 $category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath()); 

 $category->save();

how to set, if category url already exits then make it change(ie. Rename it automatically/programmatically).

Try this code.

$category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category');
$category->setName('categorgyurl');
$category->setUrlKey('categorgyurl');
$category->setIsActive(1);
$category->setDisplayMode('PRODUCTS');
$category->setIsAnchor(0);

$parentCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($root_catid);
$category->setPath($parentCategory->getPath()); 

$categoryWasCreated = false;
$currentUrlKey = $category->getUrlKey();
while (!$categoryWasCreated) 
 $categoryId = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category->getUrlKey(), 'url_key')->getId();
 if ($categoryId) 
 //if category with this url key exist add some unique part to the name
 //I used here time function but you can use something else
 $uniquePart = time();
 $category->setUrlKey($category->getUrlKey() . $uniquePart);
 else 
 $category->save();
 $categoryWasCreated = true;
 

Hope that is what you need.

I think you do not need to generate URL key every time. Magento will automatically generate URL key from name. so you can remove $category->setUrlKey('categorgyurl'); and then check result.
