Beginner Chainring/crankset questions?

So, I've been looking at the Bikesdirect ss bikes, and at this point I'm really leaning towards the Windsor Timeline because it can fit wide tires (something I may want to have). However, the crank has 46 teeth and I live at the top of a big hill, so I'd likely need something with more like 40 teeth. However, I don't know anything about these kinds of things... what tools would I need to change it out? Which ones would be compatible? If you guys could just point out a few here

that would work for me that would be really great...

As a sidenote, is the Windsor Timeline one of BD best singlespeeds, or would you recommend a different one (regardless of tire fitting)?
