Hi paigewilson,

If I understand your question, you want to change the email address that you currently use for iCloud. Does the current address end in @icloud.com, @mac.com or @me.com?

If so, you can't change the email address, but you can create an alias from it. The resources below will explain how:

iCloud: About email aliases - Apple Support

Email aliases mask your real iCloud email address and help prevent others from sending to your real iCloud address. You can send and receive email with an alias, and people who receive email from the alias will see the alias address instead of your real iCloud address.
