If my opponent has Spellskite and say a Signal Pest in my play and I use both modes of the Command to deal two damage and destroy target artifact on the Signal Pest, can my oppoent switch the target to itself?

Would you have to activate Spellskite's ability twice in order to do that?
That's a very good heads-up Mig2014, yes you would. One activation of Spellskite will only change a target of the Command, one instance of the word target, even if both instances targeted the same permanent, like TheDesacrator seems to be saying. You can change both, but you have to activate Skite twice.
6/1/2011 If the spell or ability has multiple instances of the word “target,” you choose which target you’re changing to Spellskite when Spellskite’s ability resolves.
6/1/2011 By activating Spellskite’s ability multiple times, you can change each target of a spell or ability with multiple instances of the word “target” to Spellskite, one at a time.
