How can I change it and set my new keywords..
My website is in joomla..
Do I change it there? And how?

Hey , Anchor text is that word which we gives for hyperlink.
As per Google algorithm, we have to change link method means every time we have to change anchoring text in some percentage as per you competitive keywords.
Anchor text is the actual text on a link to your web site. Instead of a link on a web site saying 'click here' and linking to your site, or simply listing your web site name ideally you have text that describes what's on your site.
The anchor text, link label, link text, or link title is the visible, clickable text in a hyperlink. The words contained in the anchor text can determine the ranking that the page will receive by search engines. Anchor text is the visible characters and words that hyperlink display when linking to another document or location on the web.
link http://www.mywebsite.com
anchor text- specific text-keyword, which you want to rank for wrapped on this link
complete example in html
<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com">my anchor text goes here</a>
If you have changed your targeted audience then you should change your internal anchor texts which is required for ranking.
You can change anchor text by CMS made by your developer.
These days,placing ahref link with anchor text and anchor title is not a good tactic to improve your rankings.

What links are you talking about? Backlinks to your site or links on your own site (outbound and internal). If it is "your ownel " links you could correct it through admin panel to your site (just edit old posts and other content). If it is backlinks - you have to contakc those who run donor sites and ask to change anchor text (have the URL's ready)
In the near future using anchor text for optimization will be less value and the worst nothing at all because Google is evolving every now and then.
