Sorry but once you have filled your category, then you cannot change your option. Though you are an SC candidate, you will be considered as general candidate. Moreover, your cutoff will be for generals and not for your actual category. Now, if you clear the cutoff of "general" category, you will be allowed for JEE Advance,or else not.

Hello Samaritan,
JEE Mains is a national level entrance exam taht is conducted by NTA and CBSE for admissions to IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs and other private colleges. It serves as the first step to admission in IITs as only candidates who qualify JEE Mains are eligible for JEE Advanced.
As for your question, sorry to say but now nothing can be done and you will have to appear as General category student only. You will qualify JEE Mains only if your score is above cut off score.
