The second post on this thread tells you how to change it (you can only change it if you know the answers to your security questions) : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4088745?answerId=19080046022#19080046022


If you can't remember your answers, and you don't have access to your current rescue email address, then you will need to contact Support in your country to get your questions reset (you can then change your rescue email address for potential future use) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
