What To Do About Account Email Being Hacked And Changed?

My Facebook account now shows a Yahoo address which I did not set up and automatically defaults to it. Plus many of my contacts have reported to me that they've received an email asking for money - that I've been mugged in another country and so on. I need to fix this on Facebook, but it keeps reverting to the yahoo email that I didn't set up. HELP!!!!
