Can you please provide more detail? It is in fact possible to use a different Apple ID in various places on a device, although one will be the "main" one. That's the one that appears under Settings at the top. If this is incorrect, sign out of the old one and sign in with the other one. We could provide more complete information if we knew what exactly you meant when you say it isn't your main Apple ID.
