  Hi. Just as the admin page said, you cannot change your username. However, you can create a new one:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/change-your-username/

  If you have a blog hosted at WordPress.COM, you can then transfer ownership of the blog from your old username to the new one. It is also explained on the link above.

  You can also change your DISPLAYED name, which is your Nickname. Go to your profile, type in the desired name, save, then go to the nickname drop-down and select the desired name, save.

  Your original name shows in the forums, but on your blog and other WP.com blog, the nickname will show up.
