Changing My Daughter's Name From Mother's Maiden To My Surname

I am looking for info to change my daughter's name from her mother's maiden name to my surname. Paternity has been established, I'm paying child support and am very involved in her life. I feel it's her birthright and I intend to give it to her prior to the beginning of her starting school.
