Is the Facebook id changeable?

Currently, usernames can only contain alphanumeric characters (A-Z, 0-9) or a period ("."). Usernames may support non-romanized characters in the future. You can customize the web address for your profile by choosing a username.

How do I change my Facebook login email?

Tap in the top right of Facebook. Scroll down and tap Settings. In the Account Settings section, tap Personal Information, then tap Contact Info. Tap Add Email Address and enter your email.

If facebook changes your USER ID it would be like gmail changing your email address... Do not fear - as long as facebook is around your user id will be the same.

Using a users facebook user id as a unique identifier in your database is a great idea. You should store it as a String, or as a BIGINT(20) value.
