Here's my code with an explanation.
script:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("ClickDetector").MouseClick:Connect(function(Player)
--[[
By using FindFirstAncestor you're looking through all the ancestors, aka 'Parent.Parent.Parent' but much shorter.
If you noticed 'function(Player)', that's a built-in argument to the connection, use that to your advantage.
Make sure this is a server-script & not a client-script. Make sure you're modifying it in the PlayerGui and not the StarterGui, the StarterGui is a service that allows you to modify the game GUIs much easier.
]]
Player:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("PlayerGui")["changeBodyColorGui"].Frame.Visible = true
end)
You're changing StarterGui, not PlayerGui
To change PlayerGui, just pass the player argument and reference PlayerGui from there
local function onClick(player)
player.PlayerGui.changeBodyColorGui.Frame = true
end
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)

Another thing is, you should not be using a click detector, for clicking a button, use a regular button, text button, image button OR don't use a local function.
script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function()
game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = false
end)
When dealing with frames, you always want a Click Detector to access the STARTERGUI because that's where everything is, if you're trying to get a certain item in someone's or on someone's screen that's where player gui comes in. You should probably use both but also don't forget that you should use a text button if it's a gui if it's not use a click detector.

why are you editing startergui

Why would you edit player gui if you can do starter gui, when a text button is clicked you don't edit player gui do you?

You edit PlayerGUI - playergui is a container in which guis from the server are to be cloned to the player, hence the name "PlayerGui"! You can read more on the developer hub
