My question is I have already signed in with Apple ID in system preferences > iCloud , then I will click say app store in my Mac or I tunes .So how to change the Apple ID password from these locations for existing Apple ID and its password from this Mac OS high Sierra 10.13.6
Can't you sign out of those locations, change the password, and then sign in using the new password?

Can't you sign out of the old and in with the new?
Since you don't want to follow Apple's published procedures, I suggest you contact Apple Support to see if they know of a workaround.
