It depends on the application, and where it stores the information.

There are utilities that you can get to change the default Windows user information.
Try www.completelyfreesoftware.com
www.nonags.com
www.download.com

Or, you can just locate the data in the registry, and edit it yourself.
Use the standard precautions when editing the registry.

Some programs store the info .ini files, which you can edit as needed.

Some programs encrypt the user info in installation files.
For these programs, the only option is to COMPLETELY un-install the program, and re-install using the new user information.
