You can send information by sending additional information through classical means (thus limited to relativity). This is the basis for quantum cryptography, where you can have a shared one-time pad that is impossible to intercept without detection or and impossible to copy (thanks to the no-cloning and no-teleportation theorems).

But you can't send information through quantum entanglement itself without rewriting a significant chunk of physics as we know it. If you're going to do that, all bets are off and you should be consulting with wizards and not physicists.
