Without starting a new account, can I change or modify my screen name?

Only moderators have the ability to do that, and see this post for the reason why they don't generally do so, and don't allow staring a new account: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp2369663.html#2369663

I think not allowing regular users to change their own user names is actually part of the way the software is set up.

As for why the moderators choose not to change people's names and why stopping use of an old account and starting a new one isn't allowed, they've explained that. You might look around at old threads for previous discussions of this topic.
