  if you change the name and/or permalink of a post, it will re-direct.

  If you change the permalink of a page, you will get a 404 error.

  Note, changing a post title is different than changing the permalink, so you can do that even on a page without a problem.

  Just in case, here’s the difference between posts and pages: http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

  So what I get is, I can change it without a problem, just leave the permalink alone :)
