    Depends on the law of the state or country where you were born, but in general no: it is really too late to do that.

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on another thread. This can lead to confusion. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    You can change your name by a court filing. Its not hard nor expensive. However, it won't change your birth certificate.
