There is no reason to change a MaC address, only possible answer is if you have commited a criminal offence in IT, such a hacking and want to change your MaC address.
Please feel free to correct me, IT is such a large field and can change everyday
The MAC address is the serial number of the network card. This number is unique in the world, and there is no need to change it.The MAC address is the serial number of the network card.

You can't. The MAC address is a permanant part of the device.
you usually don't.
ALL network-able device's have the MAC address listed next to or near the Serial number on the outside of the product. Many company's need to know before hand what the MAC address is for various reasons.
Yes, ofcourse
In general, the MAC address is tied to a specific piece of hardware and does not change. It is possible, however, under certain circumstances to change the MAC address. MAC addresses are most often assigned by the manufacturer of a network interface card (NIC) and are stored in its hardware, the card's read-only memory, or some other firmware mechanism. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number and may be referred to as the burned-in address. It may also be known as an Ethernet hardware address (EHA), hardware address or physical address. Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most modern hardware. Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. In this case, the MAC address of the actual NIC is hidden from the network and the network only sees the MAC assigned to the virtual NIC - which can be configured, with some finesse, to be dynamic. It can also be used in the process of exploiting security vulnerabilities. This is called MAC spoofing.

Hardware address is the MAC address. IPv4 is the IP address. The MAC address is assigned to each network device at the time it's manufactured and does not change. The IP address is manually assigned and can be changed.
No, they can't have the same mac address, because mac address is an id for a machine therefore the ip addresses are registered to the DHCP table accordingly to the mac address. So if you spoof the mac address lets say having two machines with the same mac address what will happen is that only one machine at time would be allowed once it disconnect then the other can connect. Why spoofing a mac address? I guess one of the reasons is to defeat a network administrator when they secure their network by filtering the mac addresses so by spoofing the mac address you will be able to access the internet.
IP address remains the same. Mac address changes from router to router.
Doesn't matter if your connected to a LAN or not. The MAC address is hard coded into the NIC and does not change unless software on the computer requires that it changes.
This cannot be done, the MAC address is set in the hardware at the factory to a unique value that no other network device has anywhere in the world and cannot be changed.
