To change the name in the passport, or to have some details changed you have to apply for a "Re-issue" of passport and get the specified change done in the personal particulars. To check the complete list of documents to be submitted along with the application form, have a look at the following link:

What you need to do is apply for a "Re-issue" of your passport.
