  Go to account settings, update the email address and click the Save Account Settings button. There’ll be a message saying that there’s a pending change. Have your friend check his/her inbox for the confirmation email and click the link within to verify the change.

  If you have other sites in the account that you wish to keep or your friend already has a WordPress.com account, you might want to transfer the site to them instead of changing the email.
