In Settings--Do Not Disturb--Silence--While iPhone is Locked. Can this be changed to allow the phone to ring even though the phone is locked?

No, if you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you will not receive calls while being locked. You'll need to add Contacts to your Contacts Favorites and use the Favorites settings so everyone who is in your Favorites can reach out to you.
