Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

If you can't get the answers emailed to you, phone Apple from a number listed in article HE57 and ask for the Account Security team.

So, I made my account a while ago before I had an iPhone so I can get music. The result of that I can't remember my security questions, and it tells me to send a rescue email an alert, but it doesn't show you how to get to that page. I am getting quite annoyed because apples hours arent the best fitted to my scedule since I have school and work, so I cant call and ask how to get fixed. Please help me all I want to do is buy some music...

Can't remember my security questions and can't access my back up email address is there a way of getting the information sent to another email?
No. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I can't remember my security questions and have no access to the recovery email address
I can't remember my security questions and have no access to the recovery email address
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then update your rescue email address to an account that you have access to for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -

I need help changing my password info on my Apple ID. I can't remember my security questions. They send the answers to a rescue email I no longer use. What can I do or who can I contact?
I've tried that. After logged in, I go to passwords and security. It then tells me to enter my security answers (that I can't remember). It sends those answers to my rescue email that I no longer use. Therefore, I can't retrieve my answers or change my rescue email.... I'm still stuck.

i can't remember my security questions but i do not want to make a new email address to reset them what do i do.
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 through iTunes Store Support. -
