You can use a simple bash script. Try (as root:)
for f in `find / -uid OLDUID`; do chown NEWUID $f; done

sudo find / -uid [old UID] -exec chown [new UID] '{}' \;

Then (as root):
$ cd /home
$ mv fatmike cmatheson
$ ch
There is also a slightly less hardcore command, usermod, which lets you
change login-name, home directory, group, uid, etc, without getting
involved with the password file. Eg
