Can you please describe what you are trying to do exactly? You definitely can have multiple databases with their own owners.

Sure you can.  The bootstrap superuser account's name is set by
initdb [1].  It's true that you can't change the initial set of
database names (postgres, template0, template1), but you can
create more databases within the installation [2].

If you're really stubborn you can delete or rename the postgres
database, but you might regret it.  A lot of client tools assume
that as the default database-to-connect-to.  I don't recommend
deleting or renaming template0 or template1 under any
circumstances [3].
