Hi! I am from Croatia and excuse me for my english... :) Do you know is possible to change a user name? If it is, how to change it? What happens after that?

No, it doesent. On Vanilla your username will just update the next time you log in and that is it. All your post history will be intact!
You must have been thinking about jForums and old forums. There if you changed your username ID, the forums would generate a new persona that starts from zero based on your new Origin ID/nucleus and you would lose access to your previous one with all your posts. Same would apply for any other type of persona such as PSN, Xbox and so on and so on. If you changed your name at the source, you would lose access to that persona and its contents after re-logging.
Lucky for us that will no longer happen with the new forums!
