You can get a 3rd party email address from Yahoo or AOL to use as your new Apple ID address. Note the restrictions in the article.

Make sure you turn off Find My Phone before signing out of the old ID. Once signed out and Find My Phone is off, then sign in with the new ID, then turn Find My Phone back on.
