Can you switch the king and rook in the game of chess?
The move referred to here is called castling, and the rook and king don't actually "trade places" as was suggested in the question. Castling is a maneuver that increases protection for the king and allows for development of the rook. Let's look at castling as see what really happens. Imagine a chess board with only the two rooks and the king in place on it. They're on their starting squares. To castle, the king is moved two squares toward the rook on the side on which the player wishes to castle. The rook on that side, the side toward which the king was moved, is now placed on the other or far side of the king. It's as if the rook "jumped over" the king to get to the other side and stand adjacent to the king. It works the same for either side, and the king is moved those two spaces toward the rook with which it is going to castle, and the rook "jumps" the king and ends up alongside it. Castling can be done to either side using this mechanism. But there are restrictions to castling. The first rule of castling is that neither the king or rook can have moved for castling to be legal. Also, all intervening pieces on the side to which a player wishes to castle must be out of the way; the space between the king and rook must be clear of all obstructions. Third, if the king is in check, castling is prohibited. It is not a legal move to castle to get out of check. Lastly, the king cannot across a square that is under attack. Certainly the king cannot move into check, but recall that the mechanism of castling begins with moving the king two squares toward the rook with which castling is desired. If that square that the king would move across is under attack by an opponent, castling is prohibited.

Can the king move two spaces?
The king, in chess, can only move two spaces when performing a move called "a Castle". This can only be performed when there is no piece between the King and closest Rook (so the bishop and the knight have advanced along the board), and neither the king nor the closest rook have been previously moved. If that is the case, then you can move the king two spaces toward the rook, and place the rook to the space immediately to the left of the King. This is called a Castle, and this is the ONLY time the king can move two space during the duration of one game. Outside of this move, the king only moves one space at a time. - answer provided by black atticus
