Re: conversion of religion
there is no bar in law on following any religion / faith.
however, for taking any decision which may have civil consequences, the parties are govered by law of contract which requires that the parties should NOT BE minor; therefore, your interests can better be watched by your parents/guardians till you come of age.
and if you intend conversion for matrimonial purposes, it is illegal and is not helpful.

Atleast you must be major to take any decision.
