Depening on the state where you live, you can go to the court and file a petition for name change.

You can file a petition in state court and a judge can change your name once all the legal requirements are met.

You will need to apply for a name change with your local court. After the court has given you an order allowing you to change your name, you will need to submit that order along with a new application for employment authorization (I-765) to USCIS to get a work permit with your new name on it.

You would should inquire with your local state court clerk who can likely inform you on the name change procedures. Once you change your name with the state court you would then be able to inform immigration of your new name.
