  I’m not sure if you want to change your address or title or both but…

  Change your title:
  Dashboard => Settings => General => Title

  Change your website address:
  This is possible but it’s not reall that easy as clicking <Change URL>

  1. Register a new blog
  To register a new blog use this form: http://en.wordpress.com/signup/
  Choose the URL you want to change to.

  2. Export
  Now you’ll need to export your files, posts, etc from the blog you want the URL to be changed, so your old blog.
  To export go to your Dashboard => Tools => Export
  More info: http://support.wordpress.com/export/

  3. Import
  When the export is complete you’ll need to import these files to your new blog. Go to your dashboard of your new blog and use the import tool.
  Dashboard => Tools => Import
  More info: http://support.wordpress.com/import/

  4. Announce the change to your readers
  Now you’ll need to let your readers know that your blog has a new home you can do this either by making a new post on your old blog with the new URL or you can redirect your old blog to your new blog:
