You can move it down a rack. Also, when it appears done on top you can take it out a little early. Even after you remove it from the oven it will continue to bake with the heat that is inside it already. Besides, brownies are better with a rich, gooey center!

There are a couple of possibilities. One, if you are using an oven with a top heating element, try lowering your rack to as low as possible. Don't decrease your heat by more than 25 degrees or it will affect the rise and texture of your cake. You also might want to try using a less heat sensitive material, like pyrex or silicone if you have been using metal pans. As a last ditch effort, treat it like a casserole. Put aluminum foil over the top for the first half of the cook time which will essentially steam it. Remove it and finish baking as usual.

In addition, make sure you have the right amount of mix for the pan you're using. If you have a smaller pan than specified, and you fill it, it'll fill thicker than the recipe calls for, and by the time the top starts to burn the middle still hasn't cooked. A slightly larger pan will make the brownie less thick and more likely to cook throughout before the top burns.

Since you are baking you need to follow the recipe to the letter. There is no room for improve or skipping or hurrying steps.
You may have your racks in the wrong position in the oven. You may not be preheating your oven. Your oven may be off [buy an oven thermometer]. You could be using the wrong pans. There is a whole host of reasons you could be having trouble.

Preheat the oven 15-30 before you put in the brownies on low.

Either your oven is broken, not calibrated right (buy an oven thermometer to check actual temperature of your oven. It sounds like all your heat is coming from the top of your oven and not equally from both top and bottom. Almost like broil instead of bake. It is definitely an oven problem.

Try covering it with aluminum foil for the first 10-15 minuites.

Maybe your bottom element is not working properly? Sounds like your top element is too hot and the bottom one is not producing enough heat.
