Impossible. You can make an additional user tho.
w0w been a while I've seen this request.
Ideally by changing it in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow would be all you need to 'rename' root. However, the problem occurs because pretty much every single piece of Unix software in existence assumes that the username 'root' exists and that it is the superuser -- mail aliases, various daemons, cron...
I have not seen anyone been able to do it properly and make all scripts/software's working without encountering MANY MANY MANY issues. The only time I've personally managed to do it properly from ground up is when I used LFS (Linux from Scratch) with the expense of troubleshooting all badly written scripts that assumes root being the superuser.
My advise, don't do it unless you have a real reason for it, i.e. some Business Analyst who got too much authority to force bad decisions on IT! (we all know what that means!). ahemm..
