To change the Executor or Executrix of a Will, you would need to create a new Will that specifically revokes the previous one and appoints a new Executor or Executrix. It is important to follow the legal requirements for creating a valid Will in your jurisdiction. It's advisable to seek legal advice when making changes to your Will.

Do children get to see their fathers Will when the stepmother is the executrix?
Typically, children do have the right to see their father's will, regardless of who the executor is. They may need to request a copy of the will from the executrix or the probate court in order to review its contents.

Can you change someone's will?
Yes, a living person can change their will, either by writing a new one or by adding a codicil. In both cases the new/replacement will or codicil need to be formally witnessed to be legal. Once the person is dead or is no longer mentally competent, the will can not be changed. However, depending on the laws of the country in which you live, it may be possible to modify the terms of a will if ALL beneficiaries and the Executor agree to go to court to do this to get a " deed of variation". However, if one party does not agree then the will must be followed as the deceased specified.

What reason would one executor want to become the executrix who proves a will and not notify the other?
I may be taking your question the wrong way, but it appears you are confused about Executor and Executrix. Executor is male and Executrix is female. It's quite common for someone leaving a Will to name 2 or more people as an Executor or Executrix. The reason for this is by the time the person dies one of the Executors or Executrix's may have passed on themselves; too ill to take on the responsibility or have the legal right to deny carrying the Executor or Executrix duties out. Each Heir in the Will should legally get a copy of that Will. If this hasn't happened you only have to contact the lawyer the Executor/Executrix is seeing and ask for a copy. It will all come out in the wash because ALL Wills have to be Probated. Probated means that all debts have to be paid off, plus taxes on any properties, homes and personal taxes. Once this is done then it's up to the Executor or Executrix to keep all receipts and expenditures up to date and usually do so by simple bookkeeping methods which then can be approved by a CGA or by a lawyer. After the Will has been probated the lawyer will have their office contact the Heirs and call them in and hand out the monies or property rights to those involved.
