How do you change your character in GTA 5?
Switching characters in GTA 5 is super easy and kinda fun, actually! All you gotta do is hold down the character switch button - that's 'Down' on the D-pad for consoles. Then you pick the character you wanna switch to by choosing their direction with the right stick. For PC, you press 'Alt' to bring up the character selection wheel and use your mouse to choose. Voila, you're now walking in someone else's shoes!

Just hit 'Down' on the D-pad (for console players) or 'Alt' (for PC players) and select the character you want. Easy peasy.
I disagree with everyone making it sound simple. Sometimes, the game won't let you switch characters because you're in the middle of a mission or a character-specific activity. So, if it doesn't work, finish up what you're doing first!
