Here is Apple Support email regarding same question;

As an individual you cannot change your first and last name, you can only have your legal name appear in the App store. I can suggest to you to enroll as a company, witch would mean you can use your company name instead of your own name, but first you would need to check that you meet our initial migration requirements:

1. You are a founder or cofounder of your company.
2. Your company does not already hold an active or expired company membership.
3. Your company does not operate as a sole proprietorship, DBA, fictitious name, trade name, or branch.
4. If you have paid apps, you have agreed to the latest Paid Applications contract in Agreements, Tax, and Banking in iTunes Connect.
5. You are eligible to obtain a DUNS Number for your company: https://developer.apple.com/support/D-U-N-S.

If it is the case and you meet our requirements please feel free to contact us again so we can migrate your account into a company.
