You cannot change the name of the "Administrator" account but you can add all the users you want with administrator privileges.

Actually in the Group Policy snap-in under computer configuration\windows settings\security settings\local policies\security options. The built in administrator and guest account name can be changed.

It's a common practice to change the name of the Admin account as another line of security. It's the 1st thing I do on all NT based machines.
