I don't know about crypto sticks nor smart cards, but you cannot
change email address in key, nor remove it (or if you do, keyservers
will still contain the old uid).

You can use gpg --edit-key KEYID and then select the uid with correct
number and give command "revuid", so the uid appears as revoked to
people who get your key.
