Mac addresses are normally firmware right?

MAC addresses permanently attached to a product by the manufacturer are known as "burned-in addresses" (BIA) or sometimes as "Universally Administered Addresses" (UAA). The BIA can be overridden with a "Locally Administered Address" (LAA). MAC-48 and EUI-48 addresses are usually shown in hexadecimal format, with each octet separated by a dash or colon. An example of a MAC-48 address would be "00-08-74-4C-7F-1D". If you cross-reference the first three octets with IEEE's OUI assignments, you can see that this MAC address came from Dell Computer Corp. The last three octets represents the serial number assigned to the adapter by the manufacturer.

Is there a way to edit ones Mac so i dont have to spoof it via windows so i still have the MAC if my pc formats.
if you want to keep a record of the mac id you're spoofing before you format, i'd employ a couple of rapidly aging yet highly useful tools; i.e. pen & paper ;)
