Hello:
First, changing channels is very simple you just need to change the third dimension of the image, e.g.
image1=imread('peppers.png');
imagesc(image1)
Now, let's change channels from RGB to BGR:
image2(:,:,1) = image1(:,:,3);
image2(:,:,2) = image1(:,:,2);
image2(:,:,3) = image1(:,:,1);
imagesc(image2)
Now in terms of the filtering with a Gaussian, if you apply a 3x3 to every channel, that would be the same if you do in RGB or in BGR as you are averaging pixels in a channel.
Hope that answers your question.

Yes, you can apply the filter to the original or to the transformed. E.g. to apply to the RGB you do the following:
image1=imread('peppers.png');
image1_filtered = imfilter(image1, fspecial('Gaussian',3,1));
figure
subplot(221)
imagesc(image1)
subplot(222)
imagesc(image1_filtered)
subplot(223)
imagesc(image1(100:150,100:150,:))
subplot(224)
imagesc(image1_filtered(100:150,100:150,:))
If you want to apply to the transformed, do the same once it has been transformed.

Ben, you can use imgaussfilt(). It's very straightforward but let us know if you can't figure out my code below.
clc; % Clear the command window.
clear all;
close all;
workspace; % Make sure the workspace panel is showing.
format short g;
format compact;
fontSize = 15;
fprintf('Beginning to run %s.m ...\n', mfilename);
rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');
subplot(2, 1, 1);
imshow(rgbImage);
title('Original Image', 'FontSize', fontSize);
% Split into channels.
[r, g, b] = imsplit(rgbImage);
% Blur each channel.
sigma = 9; % Whatever.
smoothr = imgaussfilt(r, sigma);
smoothg = imgaussfilt(g, sigma);
smoothb = imgaussfilt(b, sigma);
% Combine individual blurred color channels into a new RGB image.
blurredImage = cat(3, smoothr, smoothg, smoothb);
% Display the blurred image.
subplot(2, 1, 2);
imshow(blurredImage);
caption = sprintf('Blurred with a sigma of %.1f', sigma);
title(caption, 'FontSize', fontSize);
