Unfortunately, you cannot change the settings once you create a file. But you can create a new file using pixel measurements and copy your layers into it.
Let me know if this helps :)

I am using Photoshop CC as well. Try this:
Edit > Preferences > Units and Rulers
Then change the Rulers and Type to pixels in the "Units" section.

These settings will not change your current document. They apply to a new document's default measurement.
