You may not be able to change your Caste which is based upon your "birth" in the Caste. However, one may be entitled to "convert" from one religion to another. If you want all the 'reservation' benefits available for SCs in the country, you should not even considering changing of caste.

You may contact the Vishwa Hindu Parishad officials for converting yourself from Christian to a Hindu; and thereafter you may ceremonise your marriage as per Hindu Marriage Act.
