Dear student,
You can change that after the february attempt when the correction window will open again. Since you have uploaded wrong category certificate therefore you will not be considered in that category and would get your result as a general candidate. However you will be allowed to sit for the examination and your application will not be rejected. Make sure you upload the correct certificate afterwards and do not miss the dates otherwise you will be considered as a general candidate.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes of course you will be able to change after the attempt for February '21 because when the correction window will be opened for March '21 attempt and if you have applied or will apply for JEE-Main 2021 March attempt then you can change your category certificate and it should be of similar format as available on the official website of JOSAA :-

You will be allowed to appear for February '21 attempt but you will be considered under General category if your OBC certificate is invalid.
