I just go in to system preferences accounts (make sure the paddle-lock is undone) then click on your account and change the name.

I don't think that changes it... In fact, I'm not sure you can.

If you're selling it I would erase the hard drive and reinstall the OS.

No it does. I done it on my MacMini when I bought it and on my macbook before I sold it.
