Did you look at this section?
12.6.2 Header and sectioning structure
There is mentioned the `org-export-latex-class' variable.
Then you can do
C-h v org-export-latex-class RET
to get information about the variable, and see in what customization
group it belongs.

Just do `C-h v' after a variable's name, it will describe the variable.

No. If you change things in Org Elisp files, you need to reload Org
with M-x org-reload RET
HTH,
PS: While insisting on getting an answer, please be extra careful of
having a readable email ;)
