It is safe, and it does not decrease protection.
There should be no reason why this should happen if they are the placebo pills. Look at the packaging of your BCP's it should say what percentage of active ingredients are in each week of pills, if yours are like mine they say "Each green tablet contains inert ingredients" (or something similar) I.E. there is no medication in these, they're just there so you stick to your regular schedule and don't get in the habbit of not taking your pill daily.

Is it safe to take the placebo pills a week early to get this period earlier?
That would mean stopping your pills a week early, no that is not a good idea, you could ovulate and get pregnant. You would be better off skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the new pack, the day you should start the placebo - so you don't have breakthrough bleeding that month. (skip your period completely that cycle.)
Are you not supposed to get a period while on the pill?
You should still get a period each month while on birth control. You will usually start your period during the week that you take your placebo pills, because they have no hormones in them. If you skip the placebo pills and start your active pills instead, this will delay your period.
