In PHP your array looks like this:

$array = ['instagram' => 'dsaadsasd', 'facebook' => '12esda'];

Now to change this data into your desired array you can use a forEach loop, like so:

$newArray = [];
forEach($array as $key => $value){
$newArray[] = ["name" => $key, "data" => $value];
}

What this does is it creates an new array that for each of the items in your original array creates another array in your new array. Here's also a live example.

@Can1, I'm sorry but I do not understand what you mean. If you want to access any of the data "below", you can use $newArray[0]["data"] (the 0 is for the first item of the array)
