You cannot change your caste. But you can approach the court, incase your caste was wrongly mentioned in your community certificate or school certificate when you belong to other caste. Even for that also you have prove sufficient document before the court to prove your case.

Not possible in the laws and also in the society. Your caste comes behind you with your birth it self. It should not be interchanged by the law. But it was allowed in religion wise. Its better you convert yourself to another religion
