Is there a way to cut and re-thread a shower pipe that is already coming out of the wall?

You Can but typically the pipe for the shower head that is coming out of the wall is just a short piece of pipe that you should be able to remove easily enough by unscrewing it. Then you can just replace that piece with a new one. == Answer== Do the same as above but make sure your shower arm is not floppy, if it is you could tear up the riser coming to the arm. Be very carefull.

How do you change shower head?
I am assuming you are talking about the curved pipe coming out of the wall leading to your shower head. In order to change it, simply unscrew it counter-clockwise using a pipe wrench. To install the new one, make sure you use pipe sealing compound and wrap the jaws of the pipe wrench with tape to prevent the finish from marring.

What causes the shower to go cold when the sink in the same bathroom is being used?
A poor plumbing job. The pipes to the shower & sink share a pipe to the water heater and the pipe is not large enough. This causes the water pressure in the pipe to drop when the hot water is turned on at the sink while the shower is also on.
