Change ownership as in change the iPad's name (like from John's iPad to Mary's iPad)? For that just go to Settings > General > About and then tap on the box that says 'Name'.


If you're looking to change the default Apple ID login, while in the App Store scroll all the way down and tap on the box that has your Apple ID login info. Then choose to sign out. Afterward, scroll back down and select Sign In. By doing this keep in mind that any updates for apps that you downloaded with your Apple ID will require you to sign in to yours to receive the updates.
