You can't change your Apple ID unless you open a new account. To change your password, go into settings on your phone and tap on your name at the top. You should see Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes and App Store written below. Press "Password & Security" and you'll be prompted to change your password.

If the previous owner is signed in with their Apple ID and Find My iPhone is enabled, you'll need to have them enter their account details so that you can log out their account. Always make sure that the previous owner has completely logged out when buying a secondhand iPhone.^{[7]XResearch source}
