변경하다 : just it change the something differently and then it became new something.

As far as I can tell both words have the same meaning (to change) but 바꾸다 is a pure korean word and 변경(變更)하다 is a sino korean word. you can read more about sino korean words here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Korean_vocabulary
