Legal Answer
The person can ask the court to appoint replacement counsel. (The request, however, needs to be supported by a persuasive reason.)

Legal Answer
Most court-appointed lawyers I know are excellent. I agree, you need to have a good reason to justify the expense of another lawyer. Being generally dissatisfied is not enough. If you have an aversion to court-appointed lawyers, you could go hire your own attorney. Good luck.
