  let filename= "./name.json";
  let file = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8');
  let nameAtTheTime = JSON.parse(file);

You can modify the function like this:

function changeNameJson(name){
    let filename= "./name.json";
    let file = fs.readFileSync(filename, 'utf8');
    let nameAtTheTime = JSON.parse(file);
    nameAtTheTime.name = name;
}

And if you want to save the change into name.json file, add this to the end of changeNameJson function body :

fs.writeFileSync("./name.json",JSON.stringify(nameAtTheTime));

Or if you want to make name.json file content prettier:

fs.writeFileSync("./name.json",JSON.stringify(nameAtTheTime,null,2));
