I currently use an iTunes account and will no longer have access to it. I would like to set up a new iTunes account and will repurchase the apps that I use. Since the apps I currently have on my iPhone/iPad are attached to the old account I know that I will not be able to keep them. What is the best way for me to switch accounts? I am afraid I will have to start fresh and completely wipe my iPhone and iPad. But if there is a way to avoid that I would love to hear it. I will need to be able to update my apps and since I will no longer have access to the old account I can't update the apps purchased on that account. But if I could keep my app data and repurchase the apps tht I use on the new account that would be ideal.
I do have an iCloud account if that helps.

On another note can I change my iCloud account email? It was originally a mobile me account I switched over. I just want to change it to an already authorized email address. Thanks.
