    The first response is correct - go to the pages tab, and double click on the page style of the  pages with the footer. Then go to the footer and you should be able to change it. You will not be able to do so outside of the master page.

          Go to the Master Page.

          Window>Pages

          And in the Pages Panle there are two sets of pages, one above the dividing line and one below the dividing line.

          The set of pages above the dividing line are the master pages.

          The ones below this line are pages of your document.

          Click the master pages at the top of the dividing line to access the information in the footer.

          Then click the page in the pages panel below the dividing line to access your page again.
