First off, congrats on the bike! I have the exact same one in Bronze and it's been great to me so far. Honestly, it's a pretty decent bike out of the box. I'd go about changing things as you need (or want) to.
Personally, the only thing I've really upgraded on my bike is the brakes. There's some fast, long hills on my commute, so having the extra stopping power as really helped me feel safer when I'm descending.
Here's what I changed exactly:

Some people recommend changing out the Bottom Bracket, but I haven't had any issues with mine so it's staying :)
Here's a 50+ page thread about the Fuji Classic/Track that you can read up on. I've learned a lot of this:
