Change Create By / Modified By fields display

Recently one of our customer ask me how to change Create By and Modified By names that appears on Display form, New form and Views.  Out of the box SharePoint systems only display Created at <time> by <username>. Our Customer request to change Display Photo with Name and other details?.  Can we do it without customization?

The answer is “YES”. SharePoint list setting has options to change.
