Hello Iced_Ham,
If you are having issues with your iCloud Keychain setup due to a change in phone number, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:
If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
- Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
- Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
- Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
- On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

Thanks, but I need to know about to change the phone number that's associated with my cloud keychain.
As noted in the quoted portion of the article, you should be able to verify and/or change the phone number associated with your account.
