I am not able to change the Account name. It is not changeable. What should I do? I need to change the name of my user. It is an admin user. How should I do it?

Since you say "admin user" I presume you mean on your computer?

Click on the links and read the document:

"Important: Your home folder and certain other folders can’t be renamed. It’s best not to rename or move folders that came with your Mac."
