Gufw doesn't do this. However there is a program in the "macchanger-gtk" package that could help you out on this.

Thank You Vadim!!
This Solved My Problem.

I have done this thing.

Downloaded the "macchanger-gtk" from http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/macchanger/download
After insalling I opened Terminal, typed
man macchanger
      to see all options
to stop the ethernet card for changing it's address
     sudo ifconfig eth0 down
to change address
     macchanger --mac xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0

That's It I have done !!!!

sudo ifconfig eth0 up

and start using faked MAC.

Once Again!! Thank you Vadim
