Answer 1

All I did was google it as such: how to legally change last name in San Diego, California. Why don't you go to this wesite and it will give all the information you will need to know .  http://www.sdcll.org/guides/2007/Changin...

Answer 2

Contact the court of the county you live in.  Here in Florida, that is what needs to be done, and then you get a "Petition of Name Change" form from the court, fill it out, turn it in, and they will tell you what to do from there.  I imagine the process is probably similar in CA.
