No, you are the color you are born, regardless if a person acknowledges it or not. You cannot simply be another color. Even if a black person's pigmentation were affected by vitiligo, they would still be considered black though their shade has lightened.

It depends how you mean. If you mean in terms of dress, style, mannerisms, speech, loyalties, culture, etc., then yes.

If you mean in general or in terms of Biology, no. You can never have textured hair of your own if you weren't born with it, and you can only make yourself so dark with tanning and other means. You could apply dark makeup, but is it hard to apply it evenly to the entire visible body and keep it on.

You may be describing mixed race people. Today there are a broad number of types of mixed race people and their numbers are growing quickly as all races move around the world.

A black person cannot simply be white just as a white person can't just decide to be black. A black person who is mixed (black/white) may grow up, however, identifying as white or vice versa.
