How can I change my original apple icloud id?

My macpro was purchased by my business partner and they entered in all the security answers and have bought the domain name and emails. We are not talking to each other and I can't back up, use icloud or use any of the other apps available. How can I work around this?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1

If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
