Only by Apple. The battery is soldered (glued) into the top case. Changing it requires a new top case (keyboard + trackpad + frame + battery).
Unless you are doing 5 - 6 full charges a day for a year +, you shouldn’t even get close to needing a battery replacement on your new Mac.
Here is a link to Apple battery replacement service, https://support.apple.com/mac/repair/service for the US.
They usually do a "top case" replacement which is the battery, trackpad, keyboard, and the Al part of the case where your hands rest since this is all glued and riveted together into a unit.

Battery percentages fluctuate hourly and daily. It isn’t static. It is an ongoing chemical reaction that has a lot of internal and external forces that contribute to the slow degradation of the battery.
Given your overall posting history, you aren’t what is generally seen as a heavy power user. As such, your battery should last a long time, unless it were to be defective, or be put through the proverbial use ringer. At this point in time, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
No I am a normal user. Do basic photography and video, use my mac mostly for office apps and such. Thanks for your help this should take away my worry because I just bought this mac spending over 2K!
