Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.

I forgot my answers to my security questions and I have not received the email to reset my answers
I check my email and yet no email has been sent and I know I'm using the same email as my Apple ID.
The reset email will be sent to your rescue email account, that won't (can't) be the same as the primary email address (or any other address) on your account.
If you aren't receiving it to your rescue email aaccount (or you don't know what it is), 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 this page to view and/or change your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
I forgot the answers for the security questions and when I try to change them (My Apple ID -> Manage your account -> Password and Security) I'm asked to answer the exact questions I'm trying to change because I don't remember the answers. How can I do it?
Can't you try the email option instead?

I forgot the answers to my security questions and I don't have a recovery e-mail
I forgot the answers to my security questions and I don't have a recovery e-mail. What I find weird is that it has never asked me the security questions until a day ago when i tried to buy music. I contacted apple by e-mail, but they haven't responded, so is there anything I can do or is it best to wait longer for them to reply?

I forgot my answer to my security question and I am required to enter it because it will be my 1st time to purchase on my new ipad.. Is there some way to retrieve it?
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.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign 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 password, contact 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 Support in the country where you and your iTunes account are to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 -
