Yes - donor skin grafts are becoming increasingly common especially for folks with serious burns.

What do you mean by trading bodies? Do you really want to? Why would you like to turn into some one else? If you are not happy as you are then you won't be happy by becoming some one else. Beside such things are extremely dangerous. Not only you but your children too will have to pay the prize. A Person I know attempted such a thing and he ended up with a deformed body and his 5 out of 6 children were borned deformed too{one was a hermaphrodite!}. Still if you are willing to take the risk than don't go for websites. You will need a mentor or "guru". Come to India. Here meet some swamis and learn mantras. Build some spiritual power like that. Then you will have to go through a rigorous series of tests and all and then you will be leveled up. Continue to do this until you reach a pretty high level {your guru will tell you when to attempt body change}. If at that high level, you still have the wish to change your self then attempt it. Its no fun and its not easy. Don't attempt it by reading a few books and getting tips from website. You might destroy your life and some one else's too. Also if you are married and have children, you shouldn't even think about attempting it.

Yes , skin can be transplanted from person to another , especially in cases of burns and sever skin damage .
It is called skin graft .. If it is taken from the same person who is going to be transplanted , this called Autograft . If from one person to another called Homograft .
Graft can be either : partial-thickness skin or full thickness skin .
Partial-thickness is less rejected , but it is less cosmotic , In the otehr hand , Full-thickness is more rejected + Good cosmotic .
I hope i make a small note on what you wanna know , Let me know if u wanna know more

No, even with steroids to prevent rejection, it is unsuccessful. We usually take skin from a donor site on the patient himself or do a flip-flop section which is freeing tissue and flip-flopping slowly to the site where it is needed. Research is developing both two new methods in skin replacement; one in which a new sheet of the person's cells is grown by artificial means (much the same as the technique used in tissue culture in plants)
and the second is to use lyophilized skin as a matrix both as a temporary cover but also as a matting for epithelial cells.

It can be transplanted, and this technique is often used for burn victims as a temporary measure. It IS temporary, however, because the skin is eventually rejected.

The best skin grafts come from the patient’s own skin. Rejection may occur in heterologous grafts. To prevent this, the patient usually must be treated with long-term immunosuppressant drugs.
Please see the web pages for more details on Skin graft.
