In most cases yes. If a person was arrested, served time (Canadian Law) and was innocent and wants to change their name then they have a right. If the person committed the crime (you would see on some criminals records "aka John Smith; Jeff Petersen" then no, they can't change their names. The law wants to keep a bead on them.

Can you legally have two names?

It depends on the state you live in. In my home state of Indiana, you can have a legal name and an alias. By using the alias to sign documents and by "owning" the name (aka using it to identify yourself) it becomes a legal name in the same manner that "possession is 90% of the law". If you use it, it becomes a legal name for you, much like a pen name.
