To change the names in the certiificates is lengthy procedure, so it is better go as it is.

There is no provision in Birth and death Registration act to correct the errors in the birth or death certificate. You can file a civil suit directing the birth registrar to correct the error in the birth certificate. You have no instant remedy.
