Hi,
Do you mean that you want to change your login shell?
If so, 'chsh' is the command you need.
>From the man page:
NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [ -s shell ] [ -l ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ username ]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is
not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file
on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the
shell is not listed in the /etc/shells file. On the other
hand, it can also be configured such that it will only
accept shells listed in this file, unless you are root.
OPTIONS
-s, --shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and
exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.

login(1), passwd(5), shells(5)
