You can edit your identity to be whatever you want but your email address once assigned you can't change it.. All you can do is delete that account and start all over.  Actually you don't even have to delete it.. just start a new account and use it instead of your older account. After 30-60 Days of inactivity it will be put into the inactive area of yahoo and eventually deleted after a year of no access.

You can not change an id, but you can surely GET AN ALIAS for the same account, so if you don't like the present id that you have, go for an alias. \n\nGetting alias would not change anything for the acocunt, you will still get mails in the same account.\n\nyou can ask people to send you mails on the new id that you got, but if someone sends it on the old, that is not a problem either. \n\nAnd now yahoo even allows dots in its ids, so you can probably get sometihng like first.last@yahoo.com\n\nhttp://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?.src=ym\n\nhope this helps!

You cannot change your Yahoo! ID except by opening a new account, but you can add up to five (5) aliases to your current ID as part of the same account. An alias consists of a name and some information that you show in a profile to other members. When you log in to Yahoo!, you can choose any of your aliases.\n\nTo create a new alias, go to the Yahoo! Member Directory. Make sure you are signed in, then click on "My Profiles." The next page will list your ID and any profiles that you have already created. To make a new profile, click the "Create New Public Profile" button near the top.\n\nThe only required field is the actual name -- all other information is optional. You should not reveal any information on your profile that you wouldn't want a complete stranger to know (such as your phone number or address).\n\nWhen you're done, use the "Create Profile" button. This will take you back to your profile list, with your new name added. Make sure to click on the "Finished Editing" link to save your changes.\n\nIf you decide to re-register and create a new ID, you will need to reset all of your preferences for My Yahoo! and other personalized Yahoo! services. \nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-04.html
