Welcome to the Apple community.
If you have already changed your Apple ID at my Apple ID, then you need to sign out of your iCloud account at system preferences > iCloud, then sign back in using your new ID.

I hve the same problem, but may !pad does not allow me to delete the account, it is asking me the password to turn off "Find My iPad. It is giving me the old email address as the Apple ID, and that address doesn't exist any more.
Try going back to http://appleid.apple.com and changing the ID back to the original address. If you can get this accepted, then go to the iCloud settings pane, stop 'Find My iPad', and then sign out. Do the same on any other devices or computers.
Then go back to http://appleid.apple.com and change the ID to the new one. Sign in with that on all your devices.
However as the address which forms the original ID is now not working it can't be validated and it's possible that you won't be able to revert to it. In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
Thnaks Roger, I did work, I just add the old email adress again, I was able to get into the account even that old email was not working anymore. Now I updated my ipad with the new ID account. Your advise was very useful.
I would like to change my apple iCloud ID because when I enter what I think is the correct ID, it does not recognize it.
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
