Have you tried adding Sudo in front of the commands?
Example:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo macchanger -a wlan0
sudo service network-manager restart

I have installed kali 2.0 rolling a few days ago , and macchanger tool work well with no problems ..
"i have checked that in modem webpage, with ifconfig command and in NM (network-manager)"...
The problem cames when i have decided to 'update' my distro... ever since that 'update' that iam facing the sames bugs decribe in this article...
I have writen one toolkit that uses macchanger to spoof your mac+ip address, but since that day i was forced to came up with one soluction to my problem (spoof my mac and ip addrs)...
For Reference:
When using NetworkManager(NM) to access the net, any spoofed mac address(MAC) produced thru the terminal window(TW) when using macchanger tool will be over-written by NM. If no cloned mac address exists in NM menu settings, then the device is returned to the device MAC and any mac spoofing set by the user thru the TW disappears.
Bypass: follow this steps to change your mac in kali 2.0 rolling release (no macchanger needed)
Gh0st-Ubuntu == (MY ROUTER ESSID NAME) || 00:03:93:a8:04:b8 == spoofed mac to insert in NM
service network-manager stop
sleep 3
ifconfig wlan0 down
sleep 2
find "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Gh0st-Ubuntu" -type f -exec sh -c "sed -i "/^cloned-mac-address.*/d;/^[wifi]/acloned-mac-address=00:03:93:a8:04:b8" "{}"" ;
sleep 2
ifconfig wlan0 up
sleep 2
service network-manager start
To 'revert' settings just restart your machine or delete '00:03:93:a8:04:b8' cloned mac from the above 'find' string (command). Hope it helps...
