If you are using a GUI, you can easily change the sources in Synaptic. 
You can install Synaptic from the commandline as user root:
   # aptitude install synaptic.

Then, the command in Synaptic is:
   Settings -> Repositories

After modification, update your local package index files with:
   Edit -> Reload Package Information
