You can do this using Simpe.
Tools > Neighborhood Browser > open your neighborhood. Then Tools > Neighborhood > Sim Browser. choose the sim you want and click Open. In the Plugin view, his name and surname will be shown. Change the surname, commit and save.

Thank you for your help.I don't use SimPE I can't get it to work on my pc. Is there another way to do it ?

SimPE is the only way I know of.

There's a creator named Christianlov that has a mod called "Last name Copier" where you can copy the last name of another sim on the lot. It is located @ "the graveyard". That's about the only other way to change a sim last name without SimPE.  It will not change the household name tho.  Oh yeah, Christianlov does not mod anymore, so the file is unsupported, but it works in my game, I have all EPs.
