Answer 1

Yes you can do this as suggested by other friend but it

it is only possible if they have room  at that time

Answer 2

It is not permitted. Dont worry,  there is an option where it can be changed to your name.

There is a section in railways where it says -- "Where the passenger makes a request in writing 24 hours before the scheduled departure of the train that the reservation made in his name may be transferred to another member of his family, meaning, Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Son, Daughter, Husband and Wife.

"
