There's 5 places on your iPad that an Apple ID may be used.


iCloud

iTunes & App Stores

Messages

Facetime


And actual Apps.


If you are signed in to another Apple Id for any of those services under Settings->[service], then sign out and sign in with the one you want.


Other than that, if Apps are requesting a specific Apple ID when updating, then the only way to get rid of it, is to delete the App requesting it. As Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought / downloaded them.


Beyond that you really really need to answer the question of where on your iPad you are seeing this other ID.
