Answer 1

In playstore can we have two apps with same name with different package?

Yes, you can have multiple apps in the play store with the same display name, but they have to have different package names (and the play store won't actually allow a second app with the same package name as another even to be uploaded)

what can i do for this?

• You cannot change the package name.
• You can change the package name in your dev environment and upload it as a new app. All your ratings and download numbers will not transfer.

Answer 2

You can't. As stated here, seems that's one of the few things you cannot do.

Choose a good package name

Make sure you choose a package name that is suitable over the life of your application. You cannot change the package name after you distribute your application to users. You can set the package name in application's manifest file. For more information, see the package attribute documentation.
