You need to have the cooperation of all parties in order to effect a name change.
The custodial parent can change the child's name to anything she wishes.
The changing of a name is something that requires a petition to the court and hearing.
The birth certificate and citizenship status are irrelevant. If this person has been legally declared the father, he can petition to change the child's name. If the other legal parent, the mother, opposes the change, the Court would have to determine what is in the best interest of the child.

As a general rule modifications are not made to birth records. You can petition the court to allow a name change. However, even if a name change is allowed by the court it will not change the name on the birth certificate.
You need to go to the state court house
go to the courthouse apply for a name change and bring up the issue of his name on your birth certificate
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
Any state that allows you to change the sex on your birth certificate OR allows same sex marriage (the last is arguable but works.)
