You have to install UT using your old cd key in order to use your old name.
If you lost your cd and have the old drive and have not reinstalled UT2004 or reformatted the drive, you can find your old cd key in the registry here ...

Yeah well... I bought the unreal deal pack on steam cause I don't have the CD anymore... how am I supposed to use my old key now? I mean I have the old key... and I tried editing it in the registry... but UT2004 reverts it back to the newly bought one as soon as I join a server nerd

You write down the old cd key, uninstall UT2004, reboot, reinstall UT2004 using your old cdkey. Don't use the one (cd key) you got from steam.
If you lost your cd and have the old drive and have not reinstalled UT2004 or reformatted the drive, you can find your old cd key in the registry here ...
