Yes, you can change "a lot of money" to "much money" here, although it is probably more common to use "a lot of money" in this context. However, both "a lot of money" and "much money" are correct since money is an uncountable noun. "Much money" often sounds a little more formal, so "a lot of money" may be used in conversations more often. Ex: They don't have much money. Ex: Did the thief steal much money from the store?
