Dear Client,
You cannot change your caste. Your caste is determined by your birth. By default your father's caste is your caste. If your parents belong to different castes then, on special circumstances, you have an option to choose between either one of their castes.
Only way the caste of person gets changed , is when you 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.
Hope this solves your problem.

You can choose to be a Hindu or any other religion but you cannot change your caste. Your caste is determined by your birth. If your parents belong to different castes then you can change any one from it. If you and the girl are adults then no one can stop you from marrying eachother on the basis of caste.
There is a Supreme Court judgement that person born under a caste will remain in the same caste irrespective of him changing his religion or faith. Your case is challenging and you need to make your in law understand this.
