It should be: uniform() with no spaces before the parentheses.
Also, you will need to drop the "gen n = _n" because it cause the do file to
choke after the first loop.
Maybe something like this:
local nvar 10
set obs 25
gen n = _n
forvalues i=1/`nvar'{
gen coef`i' = uniform()
gen new`i' = coef`i' - `nvar'
}
