I believe the answer is:

achieved

'got' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'advice he changed' is the wordplay.
'changed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'advice'+'he'='advicehe'
'advicehe' anagrammed gives 'ACHIEVED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for achieved that I've seen before include "obtained" , "Reached or accomplished" , "executed" , "Attained, reached objective" , "Attained, succeeded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
