I have been installed a cluster

SQLSERVER1
and
SQLSERVER2\SQL2

When SQL1 fail, SQL2 take the SQL instance and vice-versa

My Problem is that the SQLSERVER1 don't have a associated instance like SQL2
I want to configure my SQLSERVER1 to access through the instance name =
SQLSERVER1\SQL1
I need to reinstall the SQLSERVER1? or exists something to set the default
instance to a particular instance?

Thanks a lot

You will need to reinstall SQL and create a new instance. If you have
enough disk devices you can create the new instance, detach the databases
from the default instance. Copy the files or reassign the device within
cluster manager to the new resource group and attach them to the new
instance.

Thanks, So, I reinstall and create a new instance but. How can I "uninstall"
the previous instance?

Look at 'Maintaining a Failover Cluster' topic in BOL.
