Is it possible to change the username on the Raspberry Pi, I am running on Linux, help would be much appreciated.

It is difficult to change a username, but it is easy to add a new user with a different name, see

Yeah, just create a new user and delete the old user. But remember to delete the old user when logged in to the new user. This is essential, as it ensures you've got root access on a new user before deleting the old user with root access (Yes, I learned it the hard way).
