This extension can change(fake) the geo location as you want

Change GeoLocation: Control Your Browsing Location

'Change GeoLocation' is a user-friendly Chrome extension that helps users in faking their geolocation. It works by overriding the getCurrentPosition() method of the Geolocation API in HTML5. By setting up a location in the extension's popup menu, you instruct it to depict that as your current position. Ideal for accessing content that's region-locked or for privacy reasons. Please note that some websites may not work correctly due to the timing of the override.

User reviews

Chrome uses 2 combined datapoints to collect location: the GPS and global IP. This can only spoof the GPS location, to do IP spoofing a VPN is required and no Chrome extension can do anything about that. For everyone giving one star reviews, you probably don't have a VPN and you're just upset that the digital world isn't as simple as you had hoped. This does what it says it does.
