No, I can assure you, it is ambiguous. To "change the keyboard layout" could mean either to select a different layout, or to modify an existing layout. In fact, I think *most* people would assume the former. Compare to "change clothing". If a parent says they want you to go upstairs and change your shirt, they *most likely* mean they want you to select a different shirt. They would be quite surprised if you altered your shirt with a knife and some magic markers.
