Not exactly, the U-235 content decreases as it is used in the reactor, but also some of the U-238 is changed into plutonium, and if the fuel is chemically processed this Pu can be extracted and used in mixed oxide fuel (MOX). I don't call this renewable however, because ultimately the whole series of processes relies on a new supply of uranium which can only be obtained by new mining sources.

Are fuel cells a renewable or non renewable source of energy?
Fuel cells are a manufactured item and are not renewable. The fuel that is used in the fuel cells can either be renewable (alcohol, methane from waste digestion,hydrogen from wind or solar conversion of water) or non-renewable (Hydrogen or methane from oil and gas production, alcohol from industrial processes)
