I want to set my full name (or a name chosen by me) to appears in the $Id$ area on commit and not my nickname. Is there a way to do it?

You want a file with your name on it and then
svn propset svn:keywords "Author" file.txt
As seen in http ://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html
$Id$ is a combination of Revision Number, Date, Author and URL.
You could, if the repository allows it, change the author. I would recommend not to do so though, because you'll have to do this after each commit.
Can't you just change your login name?
Assuming you have permissions to do this, I'm told you can do it with the command
svn ps svn:author "author_name" --revprop -r revision_number "repository_url"
If you get an error, you'll need to add pre/post propset hooks.
there is no way to set it :(
