Name Change/Correction

The remedy available for this mistake is to file a suit for declaration

gazette publication it is better option,and this publication is also valid

Find on the Internet Indian Passport Act and locate, at its end, the 'Affidavit for Change of Name'. Now prepare an Affidavit on the lines recommended therein, get it attested by an Executive Magistrate (or at least a Notary Public) and, based on the same, publish a 'Public Notice' in the cheapest available local Newspaper -- this paper should preferably be approved by your local District Court as a paper for publication of 'court notices' (this information you can get from any Ahalmad/Peshkar/Reader of that Court). Then get the said Notice published in the State/Central Gazette, too.

Thereafter, through your last school attended, apply to the concerned Board (CBSE etc) -- which conducted your SSC Exams, to correct your name. In the meanwhile, the publication in the local newspaper will stand you in good stead for all practical purposes.

Hi, Gopi

Impliedly, you wish to change your parentage -- name of one of the parents + your own name.

The primary document for proof of parentage is your Birth-Certificate (based on, inter alia, the records of the Hospital where you were born).

If Birth-Certificate does not exist, file an Application before concerned SDM (Executive Magistrate) -- procedure is already outlined by the Author at (Army Chief's DoB issue ...):

If youe Uncle had adopted you during your childhood (but no proper Adoption Deed was ever executed) then your Uncle might have committed a technical legal error, though in good faith, by getting his Name mentioned while admitting you to school -- hence, all your records show his name.

Such a mistake can also happen if your Uncle, as your local Guardian, took you for admission to school and the local teacher who knew him by face, thought that you were his son and, therefore he (teacher) on his own wrote your Uncle's name in your admission- records. 

In the first case, your father can file a Civil Suit for Declaration (it needs the minimum Court-Fees) and Setting Aside of Oral-Adoption, against your Uncle. Upon obtaining a Decree from Court, you can apply for correction of all records.
