Someone else using your email address to create an account on a site doesn't mean they have access to your email account, all it means is that they typed your email address into that site's new account form. Indeed, it sounds like the person realized the mistake and tried to get myspace to change the email address from yours to theirs - hence the emails from myspace asking to change the email address on the account.
Unfortunately, the other possibility - which is getting more likelier every day - is that the emails aren't really from myspace, and are someone phishing for your personal information. However it doesn't really sound like the case here, but it's something to keep an eye out for.
In either case, the takeaway lesson is to ignore the emails. Never click on links in emails you're not expecting, and never put personal information anywhere you're not 100% sure is safe. If it makes you feel better, change your password on the email account and ignore the myspace emails.
