Sign in to your Apple ID account page and edit / update your Apple ID details -> https://appleid.apple.com

Or see -> Add a payment method to your Apple ID

- If you want to change your card, you need to add first the new card, then remove the old card.

fyi: Not all credit & debit cards seem to work with App Store / iTunes Store, try a different one, or preferably a credit card. If your card is not accepted as a paymenf method, you need to contact your bank.
If you update your payment method or add funds to your Apple Account balance, It would take about 1 to 3 business days in order to process.
If you're still unable to update your payment method, Contact Apple Support.

If you can't remove a payment method
If you have subscriptions like iCloud+, have an unpaid balance, or you use purchase sharing, you must keep at least one payment method on file.
- Do you have a subscription? You can cancel iCloud+ and cancel other subscriptions from Apple. When your subscription period is over, remove your payment method.
- If you're in a Family Sharing group and you use purchase sharing, the family organizer must have a payment method on file. If you're the family organizer, turn off purchase sharing, then remove the payment method.
- If you have an unpaid balance, you might not be able to remove a payment method. Instead, change your payment method.
- If you still can't remove a payment method, contact Apple Support.
