in edit_profile.php at line 49 you have the following,
change it to
this way they can't change the username, but it'll still show their username in that form.
you also want to make a change in update_profile_include.php in the includes folder, since it checks to make sure the username field is filled in before continuing.
change line 17,
with the following,
