Question
what is the relationship between aeronautical engineering and mechanical engineering and is it possible for one to change from mechanical to aeronautical? If so what is the procedure?

Answer
While my job is to answer technical questions I'll attempt to help you. Mechanical engineering is a broad course whereas aeronautical is a specialty. Each one brings it's own rewards. Presently I have read that mechanical engineers are in greater demand than aeronautical. This can change before you complete the course. Follow the area that interest you the most. Good luck in which area you choose.
