Got to Settings>Store, tap the Apple ID at the bottom, sign out, sign back in with the ID you wish to use. (Note, apps and there updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID on your phone in Settings>Store, so if you have any apps on your phone purchased with the other ID you will still be prompted for this ID when updating them.)
