It sounds like you have are wanting to use another phone number than what came with it, but is on your current plan. I found an article that outlines what needs to be done to accomplish this after the phone has been setup or if you are at the screen to Confirm your phone number. Here is the relevant information from it:
After this process is complete, if you would like to use a different phone number with the iPhone from the one that was used to purchase it, perhaps another phone number on a family plan, contact your carrier. Depending on your carrier and iPhone model, you may need to obtain a new SIM card for it to work properly on the new phone number.
