How to change the function w.r.t we are doing integration(function other then x) .what does it mean to do so.

It's not clear what you are asking. Can you provide an example of what you are trying to do?
 
Do you mean, for example, [itex]\int x du[/itex] where [itex]u= x^2[/itex]? In that case [itex]du= d(x^2)= 2xdx[/itex] so the integral becomes [itex]\int x (2x dx)= 2\int x^2 dx[/itex].

In general, [itex]\int f(x) dg(x)= \int f(x) g'(x)dx[/itex] because [itex]dg(x)= g'(x)dx[/itex].
