Bitcoin transactions are chained, that may compromise you.

But you could use an anon currency-exchange or currency-bridge like paysafecard.com to obtain some value and obtain bitcoin with that value and never use that bitcoin key again to avoid that.

Is there no system to swap ownership of coins?

If not there should be. You send X amount of bitcoins to a middle man who then gives you X amount back. Technically they will be different coins and they'll go to a different account #, so you can't trace anything.

Take a look at mixing services[1], which seek to do exactly that.

I've heard that SatoshiDice is used for this. It's technically a gambling site but you can set the odds so you have a 98% chance of winning.
