    If you're on an iOS device, click here and follow the instructions to change the iTunes Store country.

    If you're on a computer, scroll to the bottom right corner of the iTunes application window, click on the button with the flag, and pick a country.

    In addtition to the "click here" answer, before you change stores it is essential you have a local copy (meaning on your computer or a hard drive) plus a backup of anything you purchased from the UK iTunes store.  Once you change countries you will no longer be able to download previous purchases from the other country.  You cannot easily change back to the other country (and are not supposed to do so if you are not in that country) to get access to old material.
