I have a friend who wants to come to the US for a visit. Once he gets to the US, on a visitor visa, can he change his visa to a student visa once in the country.

Your friend should talk to an immigration attorney. I happen to be one. USCIS usually does not answer questions like these for a number of reasons. In this case, both tourist visas and student visas are actually handled by the Department of State, not DHS or USCIS. a quick bit of advice, it is not advisable for your friend to do as is proposed. The government is very strict about declaring your actual intent upon arrival to the United States. So if a person says they are here to be a tourist and only visit, that should be there only intent. They should not have the dual intent to obtain a job or school or start a relationship with somebody at the time of arrival. Particularly now in the Trump era, USCIS could one day accuse somebody of lying or making a misrepresentation when they arrived at the border if they were to declare they are only coming in to visit, but within six months take action to stay longer. This can get very complex, that's why I recommend you speak to an attorney.
