Hello there, cluelessinquebec.
The following Knowledge Base provides a great resource for accomplishing what you are looking to do:

Particularly:
How to edit or change your Apple ID and primary email address
If your Apple ID and primary email address match and the email address is already verified, you can edit your Apple ID and primary email address at the same time.
Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
Click Edit next to your Apple ID.
Change the name you use for your Apple ID and email address and click Save Changes.
If your Apple ID and primary email address do not match, or they match but the email address is unverified, you can edit them:
Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
If you want to add and verify an email address that matches your Apple ID, follow the dialog box that says “Make your Apple ID and email address one and the same”. This automatically unverifies that email address from any other Apple ID for which it was previously verified.
If you want to change your email address to one that does not match your Apple ID, click Edit next to Primary Email Address. If this email address is already associated with another Apple ID, you will need to sign in with that Apple ID and delete it before you can add it to your preferred Apple ID.
If you have an @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID and primary email address, you cannot edit your primary email address once it has been verified. To change your @me.com or @mac.com primary email address to another email address, contact Apple Support for assistance.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your account'. You will be able to change the non-Apple email address you use as a login. You will then need to log out and in again on all your devices.

HOW DO I CANCEL MY ICLOUD ACCOUNT? I NO LONGER HAVE MY IPHONE
How do I delete my icloud account? Sold my phone and she cannot get in to set up the phone. Phone has been removed from my devices on itunes and it NOT in my iCloud. HELP!!!!

Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device. -
Hi
I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How do I delete my ICloud account if I no longer have an Iphone5c?
My wife bought me the iPhone 5c and I ended up not liking it and took it back for a samsung galaxy 3. My phone isn't accepting texts sent from anyone with an iPhone as my number is registering as having an iPhone in iMessage. Please help! The only thing I can think of is if I delete my iCloud account it will fix this big???
Deleting your iCloud account won't fix this. If you registered your device with a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregister it. Also, you can try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I set up an Apple ID with an invalid e-mail address, how can I change the e-mail address without completing the process of creating the ID cause I can't retrieve the e-mail to complete the process.
Try changing the email address using https://appleid.apple.com/
If you can't change it with that site, you'll have to create a new account. -
I have a 4 year old macbook and a new ipad mini. I share the same apple ID with my daughter who has an iphone 4. Recently I changed the apple id last week to my new email address. The cloud has my old apple ID ( email address), how can I change that cloud ID to a 3rd email address? I do not want to share that cloud ID with my dughter, I want us to have our own IDs.
First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud. If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account. Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
existing iCloud old email address with the old account. If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID. This email will be fetch only, not push.
Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID. -

I set iCloud up but I have given the wrong email address how do I change it to the correct one?
I set up iCloud when I got my iPhone 4S but I have just realised I have given the wrong email address how can I change it I put .co.uk and it's .com
Go to appleid.apple.com, click Manage Your Apple ID, sign into your iCloud account (using the wrong email address), it should prompt you to verify it and allow you to edit your email there. If not, then it will bring you to a screen that will show you your name, your email, and any alternate emails you have. Click the edit button next to "Primary Email Address and Apple ID" and change it to your email.

My i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it?
my i-cloud has an old email address, how can i change it? When I try to delete the account to set up a new one it keeps asking for the password that I dont have. What can I do?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

somehow I have made an iCloud account that is not verified and is asking me to check an email address that is of that account and also incorrect. How do I change the name of this incorrect icloud account/email address?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's the iCloud email address that is incorrect, you cannot change it. If it's a non iCloud address, you can change it at My Apple ID -
my icloud account email address is my old email address. how do I change it?

I had an Apple ID under an old email address that I have now changed, but the old address still shows up in my iCloud account since I installed Yosemite. How do I get rid of that old account altogether?
You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.
Hi ale.vica,
You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
1. Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
2. Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
3. Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
That should take care of your issue!
Cheers,
