We have a computer that is in Japanese, is there a way to change it to
English? I'm not sure if it's Microsoft Professional or Home Edition.

Sorry, no. It doesn't matter whether it's Home or Professional, the only way
to get Windows to be English is to buy and install an English version.
 
Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.

A good third-party partitioning program is Partition Magic 8.
