I'm wondering if there's a way to change your bungie.net username, or get, like, two accounts...

You can't change your username (although it happens in extremely rare situations).
You can have a second account, although alt accounts are frowned upon.

You cannot change your name. If you wish to have a new name, make a new account. Just be sure to not use this account.

I've never really understood why alternative accounts are frowned upon. As long as one doesn't use them for deceptive purposes, they should be fine. They can be necessary in some cases (for example, protection from group conquerors).

Because alt accounts can be used for wrong purposes. Of course, as long as you don't do anything wrong with it, there's not a problem at all.

I've made sure to get permission before I create a second account (or in my case, third). I've never been blacklisted or punished in any way. I think I'm pretty trustworthy when it comes to not abusing new accounts.

Edit: The point is, if you ask for permission, it's that extra step in assuring mods that you won't be doing anything malicious with your other accounts.
