There are 2 common ways of doing this -

1. create a database and when the player enters the username it enters it into the db and then at the end of the game the score updates and gets posted into the database alongside the name.

2. Read the players name and score into a file(excel,word etc) and then at the start of every game the file is read and the usernames and scores can be used as a "top 10" or something of the sort.

Dan is right. I would opt for the database solution though, because this could scale to multiple users. You could then keep a "high score" tally accessible to all users of the game.
