Could you clarify what you mean by "in MobileMe? Do you mean the MobileMe mail account? Is this your phone? Can you log in to your MobileMe account from a computer with the "correct" Apple ID?
To change the MobileMe mail/calendar/contacts account settings in the phone:
Settings > Mail.... > (your MobileMe account) > Account > enter correct Apple ID and password
"in MobileMe" means on iPhone going to settings, mail, MobileMe account for Mail, Calendars, etc., account; then there's Account Information: that's where the Apple ID is, and it's incorrect.
And the information is not editable in that screen.
Yes, it's my phone; yes, I can log into my MobileMe account from a computer using the correct Apple ID.
Go to:
Settings > Store. If the Apple ID there is incorrect, sign out and sign in again with the correct ID.
Go back to the MobileMe Mail account settings - if not updated with the correct ID. or if the Store ID was originally correct, delete the account and set it up again.
My problem is similar but purely a function of upgrading to V 4.3.3. Since upgrading, when I try to update apps I'm presented with Apple ID Password pop-up box that reflections a Mobile Me account I canceled over a year ago. Hence, any password I enter is followed by an attempt to download apps which surrenders to another pop-up that says my Apple Store Account has been disabled. Yet, I can use my Apple TV and Macbook Air to login to my account and purchase movies and songs and download 2/3s of my Iphone apps, but not all. How does one get my correct Apple Store account ID back into my Iphone?
I assume you're actually concerned about your iTunes Store account, not a MobileMe account which you said you cancelled last year. As I already said in the post immediately above yours (always helps to read the thread):
Settings > Store > If incorrect Apple ID shows, tap and sign out. If not signed in or after signing out:
Settings > Store > sign in with correct Apple ID and password.

This doesn't work. I logged out of Store on Iphone then logged in as suggested. Correct Store ID comes up indicating I'm logged in but error continues, wanting me to put in a password for my old Mobile Me account. It appears by using the same ID for my current Store account as I used for my old Mobile Me something in my phone is holding onto that ID, though I don't know how since I didn't get the Iphone until well after I cancelled my Mobile Me account.
The problem seems to be at the iTunes store end. There are 2 accounts with the same user name (Apple ID).

My problem was a little different but your solution fixed it. I couldn't access my music because Store had wrong ID address. I signed out, as you suggested, and signed in with correct ID. Such a simple fix and I have spent hours trying to solve it. Thanks so much.
