What factors alter how large or small the activation energy of a reaction is?

We do not go into detail on this, but anything that may affect the transition state, or original initial energy of the reactants can affect the activation energy.

Changes in temperature or the presence of a catalyst can alter the activation energy.

Quite a broad question, but if you're curious I think this link will be a satisfying read.
