How do shift the identity on my icloud account from the one I used before and enter a new one?

Hi. You can try to use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.
Then go to Settings > iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).
Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
