The documentation in the link stack247 posted is now outdated. To change the target subscription for a database, you have to change the target subscription of the server for the database. There are several ways to navigate to the server, but here is just one example:

1. Click on the database tab
2. Click on the name of the database you want to change
3. In the dashboard view, click on the link to the server in the quick glance section. This is on the bottom right corner of the view.
4. In the dashboard view, click on the Change Subscription link in the quick glance section. This is on the right side of the view.
5. Change the Target Subscription, and click the check button.

As far as changing the subscription for a website or cloud service, I would do what is recommended above; and republish the website or cloud service. When you publish, change the settings to target a different subscription by clicking on the previous button.

If you have a bunch of assets that need to be moved to another account, create a ticket with the Azure helpdesk. You will have to do the above and switch out the accounts for the databases/servers, but Microsoft is able to run a script on their end that moves everything. Depending on the size of your assets, it may take a little longer. Fortunately for me, it was only a day to move everything. I would recommend doing this instead of publishing everything a second time.
