I just got my friends old Powerbook g4 and I was wondering if i could take his name off the computer?
 
The computers name is found in System Preferences - Sharing - Computer Name at the top.

I also think you might be referring to the home folder, is that correct? If so then the best option would be to create a new user for yourself ( System Preferences - Accounts - +). There is a method of manually changing it however it is not really recommended and can easily be screwed up.
