A dermal anchor is not a piercing, but in fact a body modification.
Now as for changing the top portion of the dermal anchor, the top must be unscrewed and the new top screwed into the anchor shaft.
Dermal anchors always have interchangeable screw threads. There is a type of surface piercing without interchangeable attachments known as a Skin Diver.
Removal of a dermal anchor must be done by a licensed medical practitioner in North America and most places in the E.U. removal by a body piercer is in fact practicing medicine without a license and is illegal.

How soon can you change a dermal anchor?
Well you cant change a dermal anchor, hence the phrase "dermal anchor". The dermal anchor is permanent (till the body rejects it) and cant be changed, however depending on the design of the anchor some have removable screw tops that can be changed leaving the anchor in place. Changing the top too soon can cause bleeding and possible infection of the anchor. Best to wait at least two weeks (14 days) before attempting to change the top yourself, if you run into trouble go back and see your body modest for assistance.

How bad does a tongue piercing hurt in comparison to a dermal anchor?
I've never had a dermal anchor piercing but I can imagine they hurt quite a bit depending where on the body you get it. But I had my tongue pierced just over a year ago and I didn't feel a thing. Because the tongue is a muscle, the needle just slips through the layers rather than piercing through it. It can be uncomfortable afterwards, but it just feels like a muscle ache but in your tongue, and it does swell up, but mine was completely fine after 5 days of having it done. x
