How can I find the answers to my security questions or change the answers?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here, and reset your security questions, 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 or you don't have a rescue address, you might try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support -

Just wanted to second Niel's recommendation. Additionally this Knowledge Base article also provides some steps you can take yourself if you don't remember your security questions:

What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my 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.
Thanks for reaching out to us on the Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT5312: Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions

I have purchased songs from the itunes store many times on this computer. Now it is saying that I have to answer security questions that I do not know the answers to before i can download a song. It says because I have not purchased before on this computer, but I have. Can't get past it and just download my songs.
The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -

I created my itunes account YEARS ago!! And I can't remember the answers to my security questions? Because I cannot remember the answers I cannot make purchases in the app store. Please help me create new security questions. Please help me.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps you get the questions reset :https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
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 try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing the number for Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Account Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 -
Hi All! 1st time I have had this problem: Itunes store says I have never made purchases from this computer (I have, many times) and is asking security questions that I don't know the answers to. What next? If I keep missing the questions, it is threatening to lock me out of my account. I am sad.

I have itunes account and I'm trying to buy for itune store and asks me security questions which I can not remember and do not put a rescue optional email I should do?
Hello Jbamrah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.
Best of luck,
