In the US, yes. Here's the problem though. If the parents are not Catholic, and they do not wish for their children to become Catholic, then pressure on the child may cause strain in the relationship. Being largely unequal in the relationship, a top down scenario if you will with the parents at the top, then while the parents may be strained, the child is likely to be heavily stressed.
If you are the child looking to convert to Catholicism, by all means study the religion, get as much information as you can and make an informed decision. Then, talk to your parents and try to explain to them why you've made this decision. If they resist still, you have your whole life ahead of you.

The Godparents make promises at a Baptism. They say they will look after the child and teach them the ways of God. If the parents of the child aren't Catholic, then the Godparents are the ones who bring the child up as a Catholic (if that's what the parents want them to become) and tell them all they need to know. The godparents are friends in faith who can be turned to in times of doubt, confusion or questioning. Their goal is to show the child being baptised the ways and truth about God.
