The kohanim (priesthood) came after the Torah was given. It is mentioned in Exodus 28 and elsewhere in the Torah. Before that, there was an ancient priesthood consisting of the firstborn Israelite males of all the Israelite Tribes. This ceased when the kohanim began serving.

How was Tanach altered by Christians?

It wasn't. Back during the early days of Christianity, the Torah & the Writings known as the Tanach were written down for 4 different Jewish sects: The Pharisee Torah; The Essen Torah, the Samaritan Torah, & I believe the Saducees Torah. The Torah & Tanach which the Christians used for the Old Testament came from the Essene Torah & Tanach, whereas, the ones that would ultimately become of use for mainline Judaism, ever after the dawn of Christianity, came from the Pharisaic Torah & Tanach.

Moses wrote about the priesthood of Aaron primarily in the Book of Leviticus, which is traditionally attributed to him and is part of the Torah.
