I don't know of any way to fake the address, but why can't you call your cable ISP and give them the new mac address? That is what I did when I changed from a Windoze machine to the STN box. You don't even have to tell them what you are doing, although most ISP's don't really care as long as you aren't running a high-volume game server or something. My ISP is Linux friendly. My previous one wasn't, but after I assured them that I would do all my own tech support if they would just register my new MAC address, they shrugged and said okay. Give it a try.
