Change can mean exchange but exchange doesn't mean change. So change has a much wider usage, while exchange means one set thing.
"I want to change these shirts to an x-large." (Swapping out)
"I want to exchange these shirts for something else."
"Am I able to exchange this for that?" (Give then receive)
"I will change the light bulbs in the kitchen." (Replacing)
"Do you have any spare change?" (As in money)
"Change lanes otherwise you will miss the exit." (1 lane to another)
Change- switching/replacing something and money.
