Does anybody know how to change the default install locations for MySql, Apache and PhP? It’s easy on Windows, but I find no way to do this on Ubuntu. I feel it’ll be a bit more secure than using the default destinations. So I could choose xxxMySql/ for MySql and so on.

You shouldn’t change those paths, you should stick with the defaults as they’re probably more secure than any other paths.
