Shakespeare did not change his name. It was always William Shakespeare. Although it got spelled a lot of peculiar ways from time to time. People in his day didn't get as anal about the spelling of names as people do now.

Why did shakespeare change the lord chamberlains men to the kings men?

Shakespeare did not make the change. Even if the company could have the right to change the name, Shakespeare did not have the right to speak for the company--Richard Burbage was its leader not Shakespeare. The name was changed by King James I. When he came to the throne, he took over patronage of the company. When the patron changed, the name changed.
