You can get married under the Special Marriage Act. You both shall be covered under this Act only for the purpose of any matter relating to Matrimonial affairs between both of you. He being Muslim by religion has a legal right to have four wives simultaneously but since he fortunately for you got married to you under this Act he has become bound by the provisions of this Act wherein he now cannot marry second time with anyone else till this marriage with you under this Act subsists i.e. till this marriage get dissolved by the decree of divorce. The conversion to Islam is not necessary and the very fact you never changed your religion still you are legally married in the eye of law, your refusal for conversion to Muslim religion will not give him even a ground for dissolving this marriage on this ground or even if you convert to Islam it won't give him a ground to give you divorce since you changed your religion.  As regards the question relating to the entitlement of property, his parents can disown him of property at any time for any reason whatsoever including but not limited to this intercaste marriage.
