TEMPORAL CHANGE

sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether 08:00:00:00:00:01 - for ubuntu

sudo ifconfig eth0 ether 08:00:00:00:00:01 - for mac

you may need to shutdown desired ethernet interface before changing the MAC address
sudo ifconfig eth0 down

then after changing address bring it up again
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

PERMANENT CHANGE

edit /etc/network/interfaces configuration file to look something like this
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).# The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Network interfaces allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 08:00:00:00:00:01

then reboot network interfaces
sudo service networking restart
