What year did Henry VIII change from Catholic to protestant?
King Henry the VIII established the Church of England in 1534 when parliament declared that the king was the supreme head of the church. He wanted to establish it because he wanted a divorce but the pope wouldn't grant it but if he was the head of the church he could grant it himself, he was also bankrupt and wanted to take the monasteries, gold and various other riches for himself. A few notes, Henry VIII created the Church of England, commonly known as the Anglican Church, NOT the Church IN England, that would have been the Catholic Church from very early up until he seized control of all the Churches from the Catholic Church. Also, Henry did not create the protestant church - there actually is no "protestant" church, there are, as of 2013 over 33,000 churches which can be called protestant and Henry only created the Anglican one of those.

Technically, all of his wives died because, obviously, they lived long ago. However, if you mean "How many of his wives did Henry VIII kill?" then the answer is either two or four (if you're a Catholic). Henry's second marriage to Ann Boleyn was declared illegal by the Pope because Henry was still married to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. This lead Henry to declare himself the new head of the Church of England and so declare that his first marriage was illegal. Henry subsequently annulled his marriage to Ann Boleyn, meaning she was never his wife, just before he had her executed.
Henry's fourth marriage to Ann of Cleves was similarly annulled though she was not killed.
Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, was also annulled before Henry had her executed. Henry's last wife, Catherine Parr, outlived him.

Why did Henry the VIII appoint a new archbishop of Canterbury?
When William Warham, the Archbishop of Canterybury, died, Henry saw an opportunity to put someone in the Archbishopric that would be amenable to annulling his marriage to Catherine. He used his power as King to have Thomas Cranmer, the Archdeacon of Taunton, appointed to the position. Cranmer received the sanction of Pope Clement VII and then proceeded to lead Henry's reformation and split from the Holy Roman Church creating the Church of England. Henry got his divine annulment as well as excommunication for himself and Cranmer. Cranmer was put to death by burning for the crime of heresy in 1556, nine years after Henry's death.

What was the English church like before Henry VIII changed it?
In the period just before the changes made by Henry VIII, leading to the Church of England, the invention of printing meant that the Bible was potentially available to more and people, and people were reading it, and trying to put Jesus' message into action.
However, not everyone had access to a Bible in their own language, and of course, not everyone could read. It was, indeed, a minority movement. But there was ferment and activity because of the growing Reformation movement, and lots of preaching, so that even illiterate people could hear the message of the Bible in their own language.
In addition, the older Catholic style piety was followed by many people. Here devotion to God could be expressed in making lifetime commitments to God, living as a monk or nun, or as a member of one of the other religious orders. For others who did not make this type of commitment, there was the ordinary participation in the life of the Church, through the sacraments (mainly the Mass, or Holy Communion). The level of participation would have varied from person to person.
