  Hi,

  It wouldn’t make sense for anyone else to be able to change the author of a post other than the author, so that’s not possible. However it is possible for the author of a post to change the author name by changing his/her username or, if applicable, display name.

  The author of a post on a WordPress.com site may change their Display Name or their Username as described in the Change Display Name and Change Username sections of the Change Your Username support page.

  For one person to publish under different author names on a single site would require that person to create multiple WordPress.com accounts, and so forth.

  The second link was incorrectly placed in the middle paragraph above. I meant to say:
