It is probably not the root nameservers (unless you host a TLD) but
the TLD nameservers.

Probably (except that it is the TLD nameservers, not the root
nameservers).

The procedure depends on the TLD. Since you did not give the names of
the nameservers, we can only guess. If they end in ".fr", contact your
registrar which can send AFNIC (the ".fr" registry) a request for
changing the glue. If they end in ".ch", you can log in directlty in
the SWITCH (".ch" registry) Web site to change them. Etc...
