How to change starting troops in Stronghold Crusaders? :/
The default is archers and spearmen. Is it possible to change? For example, to have crossbowmen and swordsmen.

Basically no. Maps are created to play a certain way and part of that is determining what troops, buildings and goods you start with and what of each of these is available to you to obtain while playing. While many maps offer the same in this respect, some may have been created differently.
Players who use the map editor to create custom maps have complete control over what the player starts with and what they are allowed to do in-game.
This is one of the things that makes Stronghold and Crusader so great. Authors have control over almost all troops, buildings, goods and events in the game. On one map you may have a grand castle with hundreds of workers and a powerful army of a thousand, on another you may be lost in the woods with just a few archers and scrounging for food. The contrast can be huge.
Trust me, as you get better you should come to appreciate maps where you start off with little and build up to become large and powerful.
