If you mean your Apple ID that you use here, you can't.  Only the Hosts can do that.  I'll alert them for you.

You are referring to your user name (rcoper444), not the Apple ID (which is usually your email address), correct? The user name can only be changed by the hosts; you can change your Apple ID/email address yourself (but note: any purchases made with an Apple ID are tied to that Apple ID).

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

If it is your username for these forums you wish to change, simply abandon your current name (this seems to be your only post so far) and start with one you like. As babowa says, only Hosts (the Apple employees who manage the forums) can change usernames and they usually seem to do so only when there are security risks of some sort in play.

only by aApple employees if your name has swears they make u have to change it to something else only because it's not ur Apple ID.
