See What to do when the Mac App Store shows a different Apple ID for software updates https://www.macworld.com/article/3267709/mac-app-store-apple-id.html This document refers to a prior owner, but is also applies to cases where a current owner's old Apple ID is a problem.

 

Basically, If an apps are purchased/downloaded using one Apple ID, then you can't update them with another Apple ID. The apps are inextricably linked to the first Apple ID. You'll have to delete it and repurchase/download them again with the second Apple ID.
