How does it change in a sentence?

As a foreign surname, Τζάκσον is indeclinable, which means its form does not change regardless of its grammatical role in a sentence.

The romanization is Tzákson.

If a Greek speaker were to 'Hellenize' the name rather than transliterate it, they might look for a root like Ἰάκωβος (Jakovos), the Greek form of 'Jacob'.
The use of Τζ to represent 'J' is a relatively modern development in Greek orthography to accommodate many loanwords from English and French.
The Greek alphabet has no single letter for the English 'j' sound, so Τζάκσον relies on a phonetic approximation that sounds like 'dz' to some listeners.
