Yes, you're able to change the username, profile picture and more in firebase.

Firebase has an example in the docs https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users#update_a_users_profile

So if you wanted to change the username or profile picture you would have to use the updateProfile method

import { getAuth, updateProfile } from "firebase/auth";
const auth = getAuth();
updateProfile(auth.currentUser, {
//Replace "Jane Q. User" to the username you desire
//And Replace the PhotoURL with the desired Image
  displayName: "Jane Q. User", photoURL: "https://example.com/jane-q-user/profile.jpg"
}).then(() => {
  // Profile updated!
  // ...
}).catch((error) => {
  // An error occurred
  // ...
});
