user the Netinfo manager utility
users->oldusername
Unlock the database (click on lock in bottom left corner)
Select the "name" property in the lower windoe and just click on the value and edit it.

Done.

Now if you want to also change the home directory for that user, change that value as well and then rename the directory using the terminal:
% mv /Users/oldname /Users/newname

Not that complicated.
