Your @icloud.com password is your iCloud/Apple ID password, whether the address is the primary one or is an additional address in the form of an email alias. To change the password you need to change your Apple ID password - you can't separate them.
To change your Apple ID/iCloud password:
1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server) or Sign out' as applicable. Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
3. Go to https://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, or enter the validation code, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
5. I reiterate, before you start, turn off 'Find My...'or you will need the services of Support.
