If the mother is agreeable this should not be a problem. Go to your local family court and ask how to apply for a modification of the because. You should be able to do this for a minimal fee.

If you and the mother agree, and you merely want to have the child last name "changed" you can do that with a simple name change
It can be a more simple do it yourself, or with a para legal for a few hundred normally
