You should be able to change it in /etc/squid.conf.

open a terminal and as root start a text editor of your choice, then open the /etc/squid.conf file to edit it.
So if you use nano as your editor, as root run:

nano /etc/squid.conf

Make your changes and save the file.

umm im running debian idk if it has a text editior and is that the only port i have to change?

You probably have nano and vi, if you don't you can type
apt-get install nano
as root to install nano.

squid's default port should be 3128, BTW. Port 21 is for FTP.
