A.Dear Client
In India as per the customary law the caste of the child is designated by the case of the father as we are a patriarchal society. In case of separated couple the caste can be determined by the fact that with whom the child has been residing. Since he is staying with you hence you can request the school to change his caste by providing a copy of the caste certificate obtained from the Tehsildar.

A.Dear client,
Yes you can change your son's caste.
To change the caste in the original documents you need to get your caste certificate as a proof.
Following are the steps to follow for the correction of caste in your class 10th mark sheet:
1. Visit the admission department of your school.
2. Collect the admission form(s) filled in by the parents at the time of admission
3. The School Leaving Certificate of the previous school submitted by the parents of the candidate at the time of admission
4. A portion of the page of admission and withdrawal register of the school where the entry has been made in respect of the candidate.
5. The Board may effect necessary corrections after verification of the Original records of the school and on payment of the prescribes fee.
6. Applications regarding the change in name/surname will be considered where such changes have been permitted by a Court of Law and notified in a Government Gazette.
In the event of Court of Judicature allowing the change of name of a candidate, the same shall be carried out by the Board after obtaining relevant documents concerning the change of name published in an official gazette.

You can also make an affidavit saying that is the same person as you. And then you can publish it in any local newspaper.
