Once you're at your profile, you'll notice there are tabs labeled "Information" "Preferences" "Signature" "Avatar" "Friends and Foes" "Topic is being watched" and "Drafts"

First Label, Information:

Here you can change your current password, by simply typing in your old password, then the new one you want, and then confirming the new one.

You can also change your Gender, Birthday, Location, Occupation, and How you found the site.
