That's a really easy one, even I can answer :

In your Tomcat installation directory, look for the subdirectory "conf", 
and in it the file "server.xml".

Locate this bit :

     <Connector port="8180" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
        maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
        enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
        connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

and change it to :

     <Connector port="9180" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
        maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
        enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
        connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

(i.e. the port= attribute, whatever it is and whatever you want).
Then start (or restart) the Tomcat service.
