Unfortunately you can't change your username because this is what the Scratch system uses to identify you. You could create a new account, but then you'd have to copy all of the projects across by downloading them and uploading them to the new account. I've tried, and it takes ages.

sorry you cant

Sorry, but there is no way to change your username, because if people changed their usernames, people would be really confused. The only other option is to make a new account.

Some users say that you can use Contact Us to change your username. Is this true?

Not unless your username goes against the CG. Examples could be a real first and last name.

No, except for extremely special cases.

No you can't change your username, only in special cases
You'll just have to make a new account and hand copy your projects over to the new account.

8.1 Changing usernames
If a user could change his or her username (or even set a certain “nickname”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contained inappropriate content or personal information. Generally the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (such as for reasons like “I do not like my current username anymore”).

However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.
