If you're not behind a router and this port is open to the outside world then changing it to another port makes not a blind bit of difference - a port scan of your system will find it in moments. This change adds not one bit of extra security to your system.

If you really want to change it (really, it's more trouble than it's worth) then search the forums, it's been covered a couple of times.
