How can I change my username? Is it possible?

I read that it wasn't possible under normal circumstances. You can't change it yourself and would have to ask a moderator/administrator to change it and in the past at least, they didn't do it. Maybe if you have an excellent reason, then they'll change it. But if you want to change it just for the fun of it, for better recognisability or something alike, you'll have to register again under the new name.

That information may not be up to date. It's been some time since I read about it.

That's correct. As a general rule, this simply isn't done.
