    As per your problem stated by you it seems that you are not able to work out well on your iphone, so I would like to help you out from your problem Try to login to appstore from your computer with adding new account username, after adding new account sync your iphone with itunes this will add the new account as the default account on the app store and itunes store on your iphone hope this works out and solve your problem. Good luck.

    Are you accessing your old mail account if not than you can deactivate that account that will automatically remove that account from your login account as it will show invalid mail account as you would be able to add your new account and login through your new account, add this new account and sync your iphone through your computer and set this account as your default account on both appstore and itunes store.

    Did you try de-authorizing your computer with the old itunes store account? And then authorize your computer adding new itunes store account and then sync from itunes store with the new Apple account you can check about authorization and de-authorization at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 restart your iphone and check WiFi Store or App store and see if the account has got erased or updated. Now reset your network settings and restart your iphone this would now allow you to add new account now.
