In EXTREME circumstances, on a per-case basis, a username can be changed. However it is extremely rare for this to happen, and requires communication with the site Admin, and a very good reason.
As for closing accounts, we don't do that. Simply stop using your account. There isn't any 'data' that requires protective measures or need be deleted. If you're concerned about any personal info you may have put in your profile, simple change or delete it. Then clear you LQ cookies from your browser (which gets done anyhow when you click 'log out'
