To change your default browser, open Safari and go to Safari > Preferences > General > Default web browser. Change that value to whatever browser you want.

Safari is the only place to change the default browser. If you can't change it there, you've got a larger problem. What happens when you try to change it from Safari's preferences window?

it still comes with chrome as default. Seems like I have to delete chrome browser then reinstal chrome.

It couldn't hurt to reinstall Chrome but before you reinstall it, see if you can change the default. In other words, uninstall it, change the default in Safari and then reinstall it.
