Although Social Security does not routinely assign new numbers, we will do so when evidence shows you are being harassed or abused or your life is endangered.
Applying for a new number is a big decision. It may impact your ability to interact with federal and state agencies, employers and others. This is because your financial, medical, employment and other records will be under your former Social Security number and name (if you change your name). If you expect to change your name, we recommend you do so before applying for a new number.

Yes you can IF you go into the Witness Protection Program. I am not supposed to tell this as I am in it. My old Social number was

Secret Agent man. It must be in extreme cases for the government to allow a Social Security Number change.

Incredibly difficult. I managed to get it done for a client once who was fleeing from a domestic violence issue. We couldn't get the numbers changed for her kids (so I suspect she was eventually found by the sick ba$tard she was running from anyway).
You better have an incredibly compelling reason if you're even going to try. Even then you don't get away from the old number as far as the Fed's are concerned (it is indexed to the new one). The bottom line is, I wouldn't count on it.

You can't by yourself, the social security system can if you have a valid reason. The info is here www.ssa.gov/ssnumber
but you have to go to their office in person to get issued one.

Only under very rare circumstances such as it is being used fraudulently by many people thus messing up possible retirement pay.

Yeah, but it's really expensive. You have to find the right people. People that you probably don't want to deal with.
