Currently as of 1.0 stable there is no way to change the crew's weaponry or armor. Instead, their armor and damage scale as you progress through the game.
Note: As of version 1.0.2, crew damage will be normal when you recruit them, but as soon as you beam up to your ship and back down again, their damage falls off really strongly (see this Reddit post for details). This is a bug, and has been fixed in 1.0.3.
