How can I update apps on my iPad since the initial ID I used in purchasing them is no longer available?

How can I update apps on my iPad since the initial ID I used in purchasing them is no longer available. The situation is, a friend used his ID to purchase a couple of apps for me a few years back but I am no longer in touch with him. I am currently using my own ID. When try to update the apps in question the request is made for password that relates to my friends ID. Any help. Thank you!

You will have to delete them and purchase/get them under your own ID.
