Change your computer's name: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295017. Read all the caveats first.

Also, be aware that there are many pitfalls, for instance some applications pick up the computer name when they install and do not pick up a changed name - which can cause significant problems later.

PS You didn't say why you want to do this ?
