How do you change shower head?
I am assuming you are talking about the curved pipe coming out of the wall leading to your shower head. In order to change it, simply unscrew it counter-clockwise using a pipe wrench. To install the new one, make sure you use pipe sealing compound and wrap the jaws of the pipe wrench with tape to prevent the finish from marring.
How do you repair a shower leak at the joint between the main pipe and shower-head pipe?
This question is vague as it doesn't state where exactly between the main and shower head it has broken. However, worse case scenario, the wall will have to be excavated a little to allow for the pipe to be replaced, using the required fittings to go with it.

Does the pipe that your shower head connects to just twist out?
Yes, the shower neck is threaded into a brass fitting nailed to a wall stud.
Why does water leak behind the wall when the shower stem is pulled up but not when it is down and the water is running?
When you pull the stem up, it diverts the water from the tub spout to the shower head. Somewhere between the valve connection and shower head arm, you have a leak. The easiest part to check would be the arm that comes out of the wall that you screw the shower head on to. It is normally screwed in to a "shower Ell" and that connection and or pipe is easy to crack if someone pulls on the shower head. Pull the escutcheon plate towards the shower head and try to see into the hole and look for water at the connection. It would only leak when you are using the shower. If it is another connection or the riser pipe itself, you'll have to access it through the wall, hopefully from a room on the opposite side of the wall. Good Luck

Is there a way to cut and re-thread a shower pipe that is already coming out of the wall?
You Can but typically the pipe for the shower head that is coming out of the wall is just a short piece of pipe that you should be able to remove easily enough by unscrewing it. Then you can just replace that piece with a new one. == Answer== Do the same as above but make sure your shower arm is not floppy, if it is you could tear up the riser coming to the arm. Be very carefull.
