Q: How to change Mac App Store Login for Updating Apps

I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer retailer; when they installed Mavericks and setup the account they used their Mac ID. Now it's showing updates for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and iMovie but if I choose Update it prompts their username and wont let me change it. I assume those apps are connected to that account so it wont let me update. Is there a way to change the associated login to mine or is it safe for me to remove them and reinstall using my ID? I wasn't sure if they were core apps that would cause any damage if removed and I really dont want to format and start over. Thanks for the help!

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
