Some devices, like Android, do this automatically. By default they have randomized mac enabled.

Can't speak for other devices, but on my Samsung it's a network level setting in the "view more" section of the wifi network configuration.

It is buried... You go to your WiFi settings, select settings for the wifi you're connected to (the cog), and then the setting is called Privacy. The default is 'use randomized MAC', you can switch it to use device MAC.
