I can't think of any other airline which would allow you a free change just on the ground of having booked the dates by mistake where you have only noticed several days afterwards. Some airlines have a 24 hour period when they will allow a free change/refund precisely because mistakes do occur, but even then, if you haven't noticed by then you will lose everything.

The suggestion to buy travel insurance and fake an excuse to cancel is an extremely bad one. Do not do it.
