Hi
Mere change of name cannot get rid of your community status and it will not be helpful in getting married to the girl you love.
You can get married to the girl either through Special marriage act/court marriage and this should technically solve your problem.
However procedure for name change is as follows:
Procedure for change of Name: Major applicant
1. As per Government Order GO (P) No. 483, GA (General C), 8th December, 1977, applicant (Native of Andhra Pradesh) must file application in Annexure 1 to District Magistrate (District Collector) enclosing following
documents ( As per circular No. D5/7096/2003 of District Collector Hyderabad dated 30-08-2008) :
a. Two latest passport size colour photograph
b. Two independent citizenship certificate issued by Gazetted Officer
c. Personal sworn and signed affidavit of the applicant on Non – Judicial
stamp paper of Rs.10/- attested by notary stating exact reason for change of his/her name.
d. Educational certificate from class I to Class Xth attested by Gazetted Officer. In case of illiterate person any other proof of his name, age such as ration card, voter list, electricity bill, water bill etc copy attested by Gazetted Officer
e. Certificate from local Police station certifying that the applicant has not come to any adverse records during last 5 years.
f. A certificate from the astrologer/numerologist in case request for change for name is on such reasons.
2. District Magistrate after such enquiry as he think fit, will issue order in a Forma as per Annexure II to the applicant.
