Hello @Deep_Azure9 and thanks for reaching out. The username is stored in one of the user identities. You can update it using MS Graph with a query similar to this one:

   PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/{id}  
     
   {  
       "identities": [  
           {  
               "signInType": "phoneNumber",  
               "issuer": "string",  
               "issuerAssignedId": "string"  
           },  
           {  
               "signInType": "userPrincipalName",  
               "issuer": "string",  
               "issuerAssignedId": "string"  
           }  
       ]  
   }
