There are no easy ways to double spend using Electrum because it doesn't allow you to drop a transaction or even make a new transaction with the same inputs.
You have two options AFAIK:
1. Wait for the transaction to either confirm or drop out of mempool so you can spend it again.
2. Make a new raw transaction outside Electrum and sign it with Electrum but then I think you will have trouble broadcasting it because Electrum possibly won't allow it and explorers like blockchain.info may also not allow pushing a double spend.
