Of course you can't lie on official documents.

But with that said, even if Dad (whomever that may be) was around he would have trouble (generally speaking) arguing against a name change, because the child has never had his name to begin with.

Still, you have to go through court. You may have to do a "john doe" service though.

so, where is the father currently?

It would appear that Mom doesn't actually know who the father is...
