If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Write down your security questions.......
Here is what you should do if you do not remember the answers to your Apple ID security questions:
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email addresssign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.

How can I reset my security questions if I don't remember them?

I got my iPhone in 2012 and got a new one in 2013 and also an iPod touch. The iTunes store will not let me buy anything until I answer my security questions, and I do not remember the answers to them. So I need to know how to be able to reset them or find out what the answers are, preferrably via email.

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I keep getting asked to answer security questions and I can't remember them. Apple says it's sending an email but haven't received one but as soon as I got on community I got an immediate email. It's driving me nuts not being able to get on iTunes.

I'm trying to get on iTunes, I know my password but don't remember the security questions. It says it will send an email but haven't received one, I know email is right I got an immediate one when I got on the community discussion. Any ideas?

Try going to id.apple.com and signing in using Manage Apple ID. Click on the Password and Security section on the left and check the space under your security questions. If you have a rescue email, then a button will be there that can be used to send a reset link to that email. It will usually have the email address blanked out except for the first letter.
The only other way to reset the questions would be to call Apple Support at 1-800- MY-APPLE and have the account security team look at your ID. They will ask you for a temporary support pin and one other piece of secure information from the account, such as your current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a verification code that they can send to your devices. The support pin can be gathered using the same id.apple.com page. It is in the bottom-left corner of Password and Security. The support pin cannot be skipped, but the second piece of information for the verification can be whatever of the options they give works best for you.
Once they have the support pin and one other piece of information to confirm your identity, they can reset your security question without needing to send you an email. Just sign out of appleid.apple.com while they send the reset, and when you sign back in the Passwords and Security section will change to ask you for new security questions and your birthdate.
Good luck!

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

HT5312 When I made my Itunes account, I didn't type in a rescue email address. Now my computer is saying that I have to type in the answers to my security questions, but I can't remember them. But, since I don't have a rescue email, I can't find out the a

When I made my Itunes account, I didn't type in a rescue email address. Now, whenever I try to buy music, it says that "since this is the first time buying music on this computer, you must enter the answers to your security questions". But, first, I've always bought music on this computer. Second, I can't remember the answers to my security questions. But I can't reset them, because I don't have a rescue email address. 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.
