Evolution enables beings to change to fit their own needs and/or environment (for instance, humans walking around on two legs rather than 4 paws). How was the system that allows those changes implemented?

Because thats not what evolution is. Nature doesnt change creatures to suit the enviroment. Instead, like viruses, there are random changes in animals. Sometimes a change will mean that version of the animal is more suited to the enviroment than the rest. The rest cannot compete as well, This means they become increasingly smaller while the success of the new version becomes bigger.
I.E early man did not have intellgence or the dexerity to create and use tools. At some point one of the many many verations created a more intellegent human they used this is hunt better and protect themselves better giving them an advantage over the previous men. This meant this version was better at competing for food and so on and this continues.
