You can change the http port and the ftp port to whatever you like (keep in mind that you need special privileges for ports < 1024 on Unix/Linux systems).
SQL> -- set http port and ftp port
SQL> begin
2 dbms_xdb.sethttpport('80');
3 dbms_xdb.setftpport('2100');
4 end;

If you only want to use the database without allowing access via http or ftp then you can disable both:
SQL> -- disable http and ftp access
SQL> begin
2 dbms_xdb.sethttpport('0');
3 dbms_xdb.setftpport('0');
4 end;
