I do not think that it is possible to perform the action that you are looking out for. This is because the address is been embedded into the chip and it is not possible to wipe it off and change the same. So there is no way through which you can make the things to work out. Still if you need to know about it you can contact the Apple support for the same.

There is a way through which you can make the desired change and work out well for the same. So all you need to do is to folow the steps as given below:

• Install the developer tool from Apple site.
• Then install the relpath from the bootstrap_cmds project
• Then you need to install Libstreams project
• Now you need to unfold the cc tools project
• Make all in libstuff directory

You can perform the task well by using the the ifconfig command in the the Terminal. This is well used to change the address and you can perform the thing that you need to. Just start the program and then replace the address to a new one. There you can then establish the new address and hence make the wireless network to be set up.

Although the Address is been burned on the chip so it makes very difficult to change the Mac address but still following the post no 3 solution you can perform the act. Try it out. You may get the things to be modified and hence you can then make use of wireless network connection that you need to set up.
