How to change first applicant

Yes, you may change the information for "taxpayer" and "spouse" from the Personal Info tab.

It's best to first change the spouse info (name and SSN), then change the taxpayer info. 

You will also need to review any W-2 entries to be sure the forms are set to the correct individual. Any other income or deductions that have "taxpayer" or "spouse" will need to be reviewed as well.
