You can change your Spotify username by connecting your account to Facebook, or by adding a display name.
When you connect your Spotify account to Facebook, it'll override your current Spotify username and replace it with your Facebook name.
Adding a display name won't change your actual username, but will change the name that everyone sees you as.
If all else fails, you can contact Spotify directly to ask them to change your username, but it's not guaranteed that they'll help you.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to freely change your Spotify username — but there are a few workarounds.
One solution to the issue is to connect your Spotify account to Facebook. This will replace your original Spotify username with your Facebook username. And whenever you change your Facebook name, your Spotify name will update to match. You can make this change from the desktop or mobile app.
Another solution is to change your display name, which will override your Facebook name if your account is already connected to Facebook. This won't change your real username, but will alter the name that everyone sees you as. However, you can only make this change from the mobile app.
Lastly, you can ask Spotify to change your username directly. However, there's no guarantee that they'll help you.
