when I tried a database on my local sqlexpress for the first time, I am getting the error as

CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'

I think only administrator has the option to do it. But when I tried to open sql management studio by right clicking on it and 'run as administrator'. Once the management studio is opened, when I run the query select _username(), it is resulting as 'guest' only.

how to work around this and create a database

When installing Sql Server you had an option to make the current (installing) user an admin on the (sql) server. You just need to add your account to the Sql Server's "Security | Server Roles | sysadmin" server role.

EDIT:
It should allow you to do that. But if not another installation option was to include an "sa" sql user. Hopefully you did that. Connect as sa then add your account to the sysadmin Server Role.
