Yes you can, but you will need to log out between each step when you change between old and new accounts.

You can change the display name by just editing your profile, but there's no official way to change the username (the one shown below the display name).
The username is used at a deeper technical level so posts mentioning you are sent to you. It's kind of like an email address.
