Why did the Framers of the Constitution create a mechanism for amending the Constitution but then make it very difficult to make any changes?
They knew that people were going to change, and that the Constitution had to change with them. In order to be a working document, it had to be changed to reflect what was going on -- they knew, for instance, that slavery was someday going to be abolished, but they knew it was going to be for several generations. However, they wanted the amendment process to be difficult, so that the Constitution wasn't changed by people's fleeting whims. In other words, they made the process difficult so that 'popular passions' wouldn't alter the Constitution.
Why have there been so few amendments made to the Constitution?
Apparently, the process for amending the Constitution is deliberately tedious so that only the most important national issues will make it through, and the government will not be weakened by abrupt change and too much rule of the people. As a result, there have been few amendments in US history, and only one of them was repealed.

How can the electoral college be changed?
The only way to change it is by Constitutional Amendment, because it is set up in Article 2 of the Constitution as amended by the 12th Amendment. The sole leeway Congress has in the process is determining the time of choosing Electors and the date they cast their votes. There is another method. The Constitution specifies that States choose how their electors should be determined, and most states (apart from Maine and Nebraska) use the "Winner Takes All System". So a new proposal is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Basically, if enough states agree to allow their electors to vote for candidate with the most votes in the country, the most popular candidate would always win. The electoral college would still exist, but it would be a mere formality.

How do you talk to people and change the limits for our senators?
This question is oddly phrased so cannot properly be answered. You talk to people by going up to them and introducing yourself. You change the 'limits' -- I assume you mean term limits -- for senators by amending the Constitution. Lots of luck with that.
