To change the exemptions related to your W-2, you will need to contact your employer and complete a Form W-4 (Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate) that tells them how much federal tax they should withhold from your paycheck.
This may be equivalent to the exemptions that are filed on your Form 1040-A. You receive an exemption on Form 1040-A for each person on your tax return (ie yourself, your spouse or your dependents). If you need to change your exemptions on your return, add any qualifying dependents, your spouse (if any) or remove any dependents that do not qualify.
