As the copyright owner of a song, can another artist decide to change its title? Or should that be open to change by a performer who wants to perform the song?

Copyright doesn't prevent others from calling your work whatever they want to call your work.
Look at 17 U.S. Code § 106, which lists the rights exclusively reserved to the copyright owner.
