Do you want to change the one that you login with or just when you play MP? Because in game you can change it.
Go to Options then Other and you will see MP Username there.

Also, if you want to change the username you log in with, you can email
support@factorio.com with the request.

I changed my username and now all my items are gone.
If you change your name your save game will see your new name as a new character. You can use a console command to swap your character back in-game:
/swap-players old-username new-username
