Wrong email entered When setting up apple ID

When setting up my dad’s phone I entered a nonexistent email for the Apple ID. I didn’t realize it at the time and I don’t know how to go back and change it so he can download apps from the App Store , etc

If you can't remove it from the phone, take the device, the original purchase receipt with the serial number, and a photo ID to the nearest Apple Store.
