Water needs to be shut off to the faucet. The wall will have to have an access hole cut into it, unless there is on the back side of the shower (some showers in older homes may have an access door on the back side of the wall if it backs into a closet or has been repaired before.) Depending on the type, the faucet will either be soldered or glued to the pipes, the faucet will need to be cut loose, and then the new one can be installed. Now the wall can be repaired and the job is done.

How can you stop water leaking through the shower head when both cold and hot water are on but you want the water coming in through the tub faucet and not through the shower head?

If the faucet contains the re-direction valve (closes off the water from the faucet and redirects the water to the shower head) you need to rotate the faucet counter clock wise to unscrew it from the plumbing and replace it with a new one. Take the old one to your local box store and they can match it up for you.
