User name yes, short name NO.

it is done in the system preferences under accounts.

If you want a new short name you will have to create a new user account, give it administrator rights and then move any files over to the new account.

AND DONT EVEN THINK OF JUST RENAMING THE USERS FOLDER WITH A NEW SHORT NAME, YOU ARE ASKING FOR A WORLD OF TROUBLE TO FALL ON YOUR HEAD.
