I checked really quick for Microsoft, but this is the standard for any Google account as well. Because the company wants to make sure it doesn't knowingly provide a service illegal for anybody under the age of 18/13, (different limitations), it won't let you change your birthday until the account says you're 18. If you contact Outlook.com/Microsoft support and ask them to help you change it, they can help. Just have a way to to verify that you are the appropriate age, and hopefully they can get you sorted out.
After users upgraded to Windows 10, some of them have noticed that the username being displayed, when they are signed in using a Microsoft Account is not what they wanted it to be. In some cases, the last name had got truncated whereas in other cases the email Id was being displayed. Today, we will see how you can change the displayed profile username of your Account in Windows 10.
UPDATE: Things have changed in recent versions of Windows 10, and so this post has been modified/updated.

In earlier versions of Windows 10, if you are logged into your Microsoft Account, you can do the following.
Open Start Menu and click on Settings. Once the Settings app opens, click on Accounts and then on Your account.
Here, you will see a Manage my Microsoft account link in blue. Click on it to visit your Microsoft account homepage at account.microsoft.com. You may be asked to log in again.
Here on the left side, under Hello, you will see an Edit name link against your name.
Click on it, and on the page which opens, write the name you want to be displayed and click on Save. This is the same name which will be used when you send emails using this email ID.
When you restart your computer, you will see that the account username being displayed has been changed.
