Is this not possible for we can do it of requesting play console

Answer 1

Once you publish an app with com.exmaple.xyc package name onto the playstore, it can be changed (but highly recommmend not to).
Reasons:

1. If you change the package name in the latest version then the users of the previous version won't receive the update. They would have to unistall and install the new version. Since google will consider it to be a new app.
   
2. You will lose your existing downloads and rating and reviews, along with your store ratings associated with your original app.
