Hi.
In what cases can 'that' be preceded by a comma? I thought that only 'which' can be preceded by a comma!

You have put the parenthetical between commas.
"one of the many changes and problems, in a situation or in your life, that you have to deal with"
But the dictionary has written it with one comma, is it correct?
"one of the many changes and problems, in a situation or in your life, that you have to deal with"

No, but note that the dictionary is not trying to write the definition in a complete sentence.

Would it be wrong if it were written in a complete sentence?

Does the following seem better?
It is one of the many changes and problems in a situation or in your life that you have to deal with.
This way I think the underlined part becomes a relative clause for life, doesn't it?

Yes, you could interpret it that way, although common sense also has to be used.
But I'd avoid writing it that way because of the possibility of ambiguity..
