You can’t change the number and email address. This has to be done by a phone service like AT&T, T-Mobile, etc., or a company that is contracting with them that sells their service, like WalMart, Target, etc. They would assign a mobile phone number and use whatever email address you may already have from your Internet Service Provider , e.g., Cox, Comcast, etc.
If you have a device using your son’s email address and a phone number, different from what you want, you may have to cancel the contract (assuming you have one) with them in order to get a new number assigned by a different company. Cancelling the contract may still hold you responsible to pay the fees for the entire contract (e.g., 2-years) you currently have, or you may have a penalty to pay. Check with you current phone service provider, e.g., AT&T. Make sure to ask about penalties and fees if you cancel your current contract. They may be willing to roll over your current contract to a new one, and not charge you penalties. Ask !

I have a Apple iPad 9.7 G6 32GB and I am in need of help to restore it back to its original settings for the email had been changed and the server details were changed now I cannot work it proper

You need to provide a better problem description.
you may just need to delete your current email account in your iPad , then reinstall it. You would need the correct parameters from your Internet Service Provider (e.g. , SMTP or IMAP, port numbers, etc.)

It sounds like someone else is using your Apple ID and/or account. Does anyone else in your family use your account on another Apple device (iPhone, iPad, iPod)?

If not, you should contact Apple and also change your Apple ID password as soon as possible. If items are being charged to your account and you are sure you haven't given your account details to anyone, then changing your password will at least stop the unauthorized users from purchasing items with your account.

Viber ipad

You're not officially supported.
Install the app. Input your cell phone number in the app on the ipad. When you get the activation code on the cell phone input it to viber on the ipad and it should work over Wifi from there. Note that anyone who uses viber to try and reach your cell phone is going to get your ipad instead.

You don't have to delete his account. It is simply the "default." If you setup your own mail account, you can then make your account the default. You will afterwards set up your own Skype account using your own email address. Nothing stops you from setting up a Gmail (Google) account. If you don't know how, simply google "how to set up a google email account." As to how to make that the default account on your iPad, where the menu item is to do that may depend upon the version of the operating system. Here is one depicted instruction set:
