Hi: I agree with Peachy, although I think he accidentally switched "countable" and "uncountable."
You count the change from a monetary transaction: "I used a dollar for a twenty-nine cent purchase; and my change was two quarters, one dime, two nickels, and a penny: seventy-one cents."
With "change" as in "make something different" or "exchange on thing for another," the singular and plural are largely interchangeable to my (native American English-speaking) ear.
The exception would be when you want to emphasize that the change is singular: "the only change in the weather was a sudden drop in temperature," or plural: "we need to make quite a few changes around here."
