Only people who can change your IP if you are on a high speed connection is your ISP. Even if you are on a cable modem when the lease expires on your current IP you almost always get the same IP address again.
If you are using dial-up your IP changes each time you log-on but again, if you are on Cable or DSL you will need to contact your ISP. They are the only ones that can do it.

You could also try a third party firewall such as ZoneAlarm:
