Log in to your facebook.
Go to Account > Account Settings > Name and click change. Type your preferred name in and click save.
Hope this helps, Le-Chosen-One

Good question. Answer is, no, not anymore. Facebook is Big Brother's tool, and he doesn't like his tools played with like toys. In order to change your name, you must fax them an official change of name from the court or an actual marriage license. I'm not making this up.
You are allowed 1 USERNAME change, but the username is just what is added on to your URL, not your actual name. After that one username change you're stuck with whatever you have, not unlike a DL number or SS number or whatever means they use to keep track of us.
To make my point clearer: This is an example FB page: https://www.facebook.com/homelandsecurity
The page's name is "Department of Homeland Security" and the username is "homelandsecurity"
So, the creator of this page could, in theory, change his username to, hahaispyonamericansandyoucantstopme, but then he is stuck with that on the end of his url. But the Department of Homeland Security name doesnt change unless he marries or gets a court order faxed it.

To change your name you need to send a name change request, which must be approved by a Facebook representative in order to take effect. This guide will show you how to do it:
