See Change your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667

 

And see What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

(supplementary to what the fist link says)

 

Note that you will not be able to change to your gmail address if your current Apple ID ends in mac.com, me.com, or iCloud.com.

If you change your Apple ID, then anything you have gotten from the Online Stores will not transfer to the new Apple ID. You will need to repurchase and re-download it all.
