hey, in this you have to publish an add declaring about your biological father in national daily newspaper. Then you have to apply for gazzette for change your father's name.

With respect to your change in last name in your CBSE Certificate, you will have to make an application to the CBSE for correction in name and alongwith the same you will have to enclose all the school records including your birth certificate and all other documents. If in the school records your last name is rightly mentioned, then CBSE will make the change in the said document. However if in the school records you have the same last name as mentioned in Xth exam marksheet, then CBSE might not change your last name.
If CBSE declines your request then you can approach High Court by way of writ thereby challenging the CBSE rule that the last name is wrongly recorded as mentioned in birth certificate

3. Xth mark sheet is required everywhere for age proof, however you can try to place your birth certificate on record.
