First of all, are there any metamers for dienes? If there are any, how can I find them?

Yes. Consider metamer to be a different word for isomer, as noted by Lighthart:
The term metamer is equivalent to isomer...As an aside, I have never heard the term metamer before, I expect it is archaic.
And, according to Dictionary.com, consider a diene to be:
a hydrocarbon that contains two carbon-to-carbon double bonds in its molecules.
There are too many diene isomers to be listed here ($\ce{C5H8}$ has many atoms), but you can begin by changing the numbers in the name to generate different Lewis structures.
Penta-1,2-diene:
Penta-1,4-diene:
This is just one structure. Try cis vs. trans, position isomers, etc. You may think of many more.
