You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team.
It isn't possible to change it without correctly answering at least two of the questions.

The reset link will only work for the rescue email address that you currently have on your account. If it's wrong (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to correct your rescue email address for potential future use

How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions?

I've had my IPad for about 2 years now and I have bought a lot of apps since but all of a sudden it asks me to answer my security questions whenever i try to buy an app! I click the link to the apple Id page and it says resend security information to my email. apparently the end of my email ends with yahoo.com and whenever I log on to that it's yahoo.ca and I cannot find the email with the instructions to change my security questions!! So please me as this has never occurred before! How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions? And can you somehow purchase apps without answering your security questions because I just put 25 dollars onto my apple id and I don't want it to go to waste! Please help me!

You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Can't get email to figure out answer to security questions which I can't remember

I keep trying to get the link to having an email sent to me so that I can figure out my security questions for my apple id. But I still have not received one. Also says that I've never signed in using this computer which isn't true. Not even sure why I'm having trouble. Just wanted to purchase an album for my ipod.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

Apparently I have 2 apple IDs. The first is my former email address. I want consolidate them using my current email. I can't remember my old password. I can't do a reset bcz. it sends the link to my former email. Security Qs like d.o.b. don't "match." SoS

Apparently I have 2 apple IDs, but not on purpose. The first is my former email address used for my iPod Touch. When I later purchased an iPad2, I thought I updated my Apple ID using my new email and new married name. Apparently I created a second. I want to consolidate them using my current email, etc. But I can't remember my old password. I can't do a password reset bcz. it sends the link to my former/deactivated email. Security Qs like d.o.b. don't "match." So, when I use my iPod & it requires my password to carry out certain functions, I'm stuck. Please help! Thx

No.
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.
