You need to be 16 or older. Under 16, you need your parents’ involvement. See https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll
If you are only changing the spelling of your first name slightly, you may not need to do a deed poll.

The passport office will also accept 2 documents that contain your preferred spelling.
These can include a:

letter from a local council or government department

driving licence

bank statement

baptism or confirmation certificate
