Yes, you can change/correct the spelling mistake after adopting the following steps:

- If, your name in the school Admission register is correctly spelled , then take a Letter from the head of his school and also collect photo copy of the entry in the school regiser.  

- Submit the same with an Affidavit to the School Examination Board to correct the name as Manoj Kumar in the marksheet of 10th Class.

- Better to publish on two leading news papers of your area ,a Public Notice for correct spelling of the name and make an affidavit on Rs.10 stamp papers simply.

Good Luck and dont forget to positive rating.
