Evolution can't "change" your password - there's no mechanism for interacting with the remote service to do so. In fact I suspect that most mail providers don't even provide a facility for remotely changing passwords. Change your password using your mail provider's normal mechanism (i.e. through their website), the next time Evolution tries to retrieve the mail, it will be denied because of a wrong password and you will be asked to enter the new password (which will then update the copy stored in the keyring). That's all that's needed.
