How can I tell if my timing belt has been changed?

Unfortunately you cannot tell by looking at the belt. It may look great and be ready to break. If you have no documentation that is has been replaced and it is past due for replacement then I would highly recommend you just go ahead and replace it. If your engine is a interference engine and the belt breaks you will serious internal engine damage.

Look in your owners manual and see if it was written down. Contact the previous owner. There is no way to look at the belt and know for sure. If your vehicle has an interference engine, I would not take a chance. If you are not 100% positive it has been changed then have it replaced.

you cant really tell, per se, because not only is there a recommended mileage interval (60,000-90,000 miles) for changing it, but there is also the suggestion to change it approximately every 6 years. you can check for wear, however, by removing the valve cover and the upper timing belt cover and checking the teeth on the belt for obvious wear signs.
