To do what you have asked, you have to hack (edit) Drupal's core file which is NOT advised anyway.
If you still insist doing this open modules/user/user.module file and go to line number 557 and change it to 

$block['subject'] = $user->uid ? check_plain('Welcome '.$user->name) : t('Welcome Guest');

Others,
is there anyother way to do this without editing core file?

If you want a welcome user, you might want to create a custom block instead like this:

http://drupal.org/node/395578

Just take out the unnecessary parts (like the points if you don't need them).

I know it's been almost 3 years but I've been looking for a workaround too, and this is the best thing that I found.

Hope that helps!
