Yes unless you reset your phone you cannot change your microsoft account.

All apps you download on your phone are tied to the primary Microsoft account, as well as all backed up pictures and settings to OneDrive. Therefore, changing the primary account isn't as easy as just logging out and logging back in. You have to perform a factory reset on the phone.

You can switch over the Primary email associated with the Microsoft Account... I just went through this as I am going Google Free.

On a PC Browser, log in to your Microsoft account. Add a new email. Make it primary. wait about 24 hours then delete the old address. It then takes about 48 hours for the servers to all catch up and the change will be permanent on your phone as well as everywhere else. You do not loose data or purchase history.
