You don't have to do anything with the "ball part". There are three recessed screws that hold the housing together, and after opening that, you have to remove the tree philips screws that attach the lens board to the front part of the housing. You can see some pictures in this thread: http://www.cam-it.org/index.php?topic=3882.0

normally no need to change the lens, because this is megapixel lens, or do you want to use high quality lens to mount on this camera, what's your purpose?

Most people who want to change the lens want a different field of view. The camera is available with 2.8mm, 3.6mm, 6mm, and 8mm, and often someone wants it different than what it came with.
