As first on question how to change IP address? and can i change my IP address we can give you 2 answers and actually 2 solutions.
First solution is changing IP address through command prompt and releasing and renewing your IP address assigned to you from ISP.
Remember that it is only valid if your ISP assign you dynamical IP address. Dynamical IP address means that you will obtain another IP address every time you are connected to the internet.
If you have static IP address then you will with this method be able to renew your IP address but your IP address (static IP address) will be not changed. If you have static IP address then theonly way for changing IP address is calling your ISP and give them good reason why you want to change IP address.

Import: Your IP address will be changed (renewed or resetted) in any situation using methods above but will be changed only if your ISP assign to your computers dynamical IP address each time you are connected to the internet.
