Nope. You will need to reinstall OS X to do that.

It is possible. What you're wanting to do is change your short user name.

Different ways to do it.

No, you can not directly change the home folder name. Actually you used to be able to, but Mac OS X would just create a new home folder with the old name and make the new home folder your home folder with many preferences and settings lost. I don't think it is allowed this way in Leopard since it likely screwed a lot of people up.

Rather you need change your user accounts short name to change the home folders name.Mac OS X: How to change user short name or home directory name

I stand corrected. Never realised it was simplified in 10.5
