In general I would STRONGLY suggest that you do NOT do this.... however... if your bent on doing it -- do it at your own risk.
Before making any changes BACKUP any files you might be editing. Local user accounts are stored in: /etc/passwd copy the root line.....paste it back in right under the original root line....changing the "root" to "whatever" in that second line will give you a second user with UID 0 ...thus allowing root access to everything as well. If you have shadow passwords enabled (most people seem too) then open up /etc/shadow .....do the same thing again... copy the root line, paste it underneath...changing "root" to "whatever" again. Log in with your "whatever" screen name, and change your password so it's not the same as the original root password. Having 2 users with UID 0 can I believe cause some issues with ownership of files ...... so , don't say I didn't warn you.
