If you are trying to change the iTunes store ID you are signed into on an iOS device, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. If you are trying to change it in iTunes on your computer, launch iTunes, go to Store>Sign Out, then go to Store>Sign In and sign in with the ID you want to use.
