Hello dear aspirant,

Changing category from general to any other category is possible and vice versa.
However one can't change his category from obc to sc/st or vice versa.
Therefore you can definitely change your category from general to ews as forms for both shifts are different but you must should have proper certifications.
Hope this helps.
