Start here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Support_FAQ#How_do_I_change_my_XO.27s_Nickname.3F_my_XO.27s_color_on_Sugar_Views.3F
1. Launch the Terminal Activity. Click once in the middle of the screen
after it launches so you can type commands.
2. Type the following command:
sugar-control-panel -g nick
This will Get the current XO nickname.
3. Next type
sugar-control-panel -s nick "Nancy Altman"
The nickname has now been changed to yours. You'll want to reboot it to
make everything take effect.
There is also a more complex procedure to completely wipe and reset the XO
to default (removing all
files and customizations from the previous owner).

I'm presuming this is a G1G1 XO. Don't try this if the XO has been
registered (i.e. delivered to one of the OLPC deployments outside North
America.)
