There are those with abnormal genetic traits which cause hair to grow all over their bodies who have been called werewolves. There are individuals with a psycological disorder that makes there behaviour change under varying conditions, often becoming very animal-like.
There are also individuals who consider themselves to be werewolves, although most, if not all, admit that any sort of "shape-shifting" that they do is mental/dream-related/spiritual. Many of these individuals do indeed hope to one day be able to physically change forms, should that ever prove possible. They often are left feeling like outsiders as most "normal" (normal being a very subjective term) people consider them ill or very strange at the least. They are misunderstood and many are actually quite intelligent and creative individuals.
As to whether or not individuals exsist that are able to physically change form, be it to the form of the wolf or some hybrid of man and wolf, I cannot say. I have personally never met any such individual but I will not say that they cannot possibly exsist.

IT is related by Ovid that Lykaon, king of Arkadia, once
invited Zeus to dinner, and served up for him a dish of human
flesh, in order to test the god's omniscience. But the trick
miserably failed, and the impious monarch received the
punishment which his crime had merited. He was transformed
into a wolf, that he might henceforth feed upon the viands
with which he had dared to pollute the table of the king of
Olympos. From that time forth, according to Pliny, a noble
Arkadian was each year, on the festival of Zeus Lykaios, led
to the margin of a certain lake. Hanging his clothes upon a
tree, he then plunged into the water and became a wolf. For
the space of nine years he roamed about the adjacent woods,
and then, if he had not tasted human flesh during all this
time, he was allowed to swim back to the place where his
clothes were hanging, put them on, and return to his natural
form. It is further related of a certain Demainetos, that,
having once been present at a human sacrifice to Zeus Lykaios,
he ate of the flesh, and was transformed into a wolf for a
term of ten years.

Yes. However, they only physically shift in mythology and works of fiction. For real weres, it's all basically mental and/ or spiritual.
