Can a photon change frequency or have a set of harmonic offsets?

This may seem ignorant, but I am not a student of elementary particle theory . I am trying to determine if a single photon at a specific frequency can be changed to a different frequency without the influence of a distorting collision with more mass or photons? If so what force can change this frequency? Is it in the electromagnetic spectrum? Lastly, do photons have harmonic offsets as radio does?
