Only way the caste of person gets changed , is when he gets adopted by a person of different caste. e.g. A Brahmin can become an SC/ST, if adopted by an SC/ST person and vice-versa. Even if you change your religion, either the caste gets abandoned or it remains same but may fall into a different Category - e.g. If an SC/ST person converts to Christianity he come under OBC category, category changes but not the caste.

Caste is by birth and not by conversion If the person marry lower caste girl still his caste remains upper caste . Reservation reflects attitude those who are useless take support of their caste and such person's know there capablities and hence never come up in profession or life. They know that they belong to schedule caste and are labeled and certified as scheduled caste. So the answer is no
