Hi Maquingo14,


I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your exact situation or configuration. If you simply need to change the information in Messages, you should be able to do so in the Message Settings outlined in these articles:


Messages settings - iPhone

Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If this is a used iPhone that still has the previous owner's information on it or associated with it, you may find it easier to simply reset it as a new device, as noted here:
