    Status is a system defined field, better to have your custom drop down attribute where you have required options and can place it over and and use it.

    Even if it was possible, you would loose all historical data about that field since the type wouldn't obviously match anymore !

    Hi Jai,

    There is only way you can do this by creating new field. Dynamics CRM does not support changing field datatype after field  creation .
