Imap and pop3 protocols don't have such functions - dovecot too.
Actually there is no "standard" user/password database for Dovecot. It
supports a lots of different auth databases. Plain text, SQL LDAP
etc.The way you change password depends on database you are using.

I use SquirrelMail web mail - it have plugins for most auth db formats
(PAM ,SQL, LDAP).  In may case it is my own written wrapper/plugin as I
use mixed auth sources. User must log in with current password to change it.
