why would you want to change it anyhow? banned from wifi? I know you can spoof them relatively easy from a command line in linux, if i recall MACs are pretty much hard coded to the adapter anyhow, are you unlocked and rooted? I dont see you getting far if you aren't at least rooted.

Hmm. You might want to test if your MAC address spoofing works at home. Basically, try a method to spoof a MAC address on your phone. Then connect to your router at home and in the router's config page (usually at 192.168.1.1) and see if the router is seeing the spoofed MAC address or the real one. That way you can tell for sure if it worked. Then try it at your school.

There might be a chance at your school that they have had to ban so many MAC addresses that they decided a whitelist is better and more effective. I went to a school that did this. If they did implement a whitelist, just find a whitelisted device (preferably one that's not used that often to prevent conflicts) and clone its MAC address.
