Even though the you are SC, once you are converted into Christianity, you loose your status of SC and you are treated under the category of BC "C". There is no provision in law for change of caste.

Well advised by experts. There is no provision to change the case. On official conversion to Christianity, one loses his 'SC' status and the privileges/benefits entitled to the people of that community.
