I can only advice not to change the root username. It can get you into many troubles if you don't know EXACTLY what you are doing.
The fact that you are asking the question on how to do it means you don't.
Yes all the other answers in this thread are correct. You CAN do it. But I advice you not to unless (I am repeating myself).

- For one it will pretty much invalidate your crontab and vital scheduled system functions won't get executed.
- Many other config files explicitly mention 'root' let alone some scripts will have hardcoded references to 'root'.
