If you want need it outside the handler, you'll need to declare the variable outside.

var myNumber;

$("#someid").change(function() {
    myNumber = this.options[ this.selectedIndex ].getAttribute('myAttr');
    // or
    myNumber = $(this).find('option:selected').attr('myAttr');
});

If you only need it inside, then declare the variable inside.
