danbmunoz These are SharePoint default columns which cannot be changed using SharePoint user interface.
But, you can update it easily using PnP PowerShell like:
Set-PnPListItem -List "My List" -Identity 1 -Values @{"Editor"="email address removed for privacy reasons"} -UpdateType UpdateOverwriteVersionAlso, going forward whoever will be adding new list items will be shown in Created By (Author) column and the user who modifies the list item will be shown in Modified By (Editor) column automatically in the list when they will start using it.
Author and Editor are internal names of Created By and Modified By fields respectively. Those are required to use in the PnP PowerShell for changing values.
