The difference between citizenship and residency of a state can mean different things in different situations. It can be difficult to determine which state a person is a citizen of, although residency requirements for many things in many states are one year. Generally, though, citizenship of a state implicates the ability to vote or run for office there and the responsibility to pay taxes in that state.

Added: Unequivocally - citizenship of a country is the higher value of the two.

How do i change my citizenship from Delaware to California?

You don't. Your citizenship is with the United States so it is good in all 50 states. To change residency all you need to do is move. To have permanent residency in a state requires living in the state for 6 months. In California this means you get the state residency fees at a university or college instead of paying out of state fees. Your utility bills can establish residency for you and as a California resident you get other advantages, but whatever you earn means California taxes too.
