Changing the connector to 80 and 443 is difficult, as then you have to run Tomcat as root (assuming you are running on Linux). 8080 and 8443 are simply non-privileged ports with numbers not a million miles from 80 and 443 as I understand it. If you want to remap them and keep the non-root nature of Tomcat, use iptables to remap the ports.
