Hello @jjrose and welcome to the community.
Unfortunately you can't change your avatar until you are at level 2 in the community, and I don't think you can change your username yourself.
If you would like to get your username changed then you will need to contact one of the Community Managers (@Crazy Cat Lad @Pounawea) and ask them to change it for you.
