This is what's called Paternity Fraud, since you didn't do it at the beginning. I assume he challenged paternity? You will need a court order for the change.

Can the father sign birth certificate if woman is married?
If you're in the US, no, she cannot just list him on the birth certificate without him being involved in the process (he normally has to sign a separate form acknowledging paternity) Only the father can sign his name to the birth certificate, but he is able to do so regardless of whether they are married unless the mother is married to someone else. In that case the husband of the mother would have to be ruled out as the child's father before the biological father can sign.

I think you have to go with the paternity test to the hospital administration where he was born and have the paper notarized or signed by the judge, then they will change his name on the birth certificate and you must present all of this to the social security admin and to the courts and file for a name change with them.

How do you change a typographical error on a birth certificate?
YOu have to contact the Office of vital statistics in the state where the birth certificate was issued. Depending on the error they will tell you what to do. I had a similar situation in which my husbands date of birth was wrong on our daughters birth certificate. We had to get a certified copy of my husband's birth certificate and then I had to write a letter asking for the change and it had to be notarized! It was a pain but those are the hoops we jumped through. Hope this helps!
Can an illegal immigrant change his us citizen daughters last name to his last name if he is not on the birth certificate?
The birth certificate and citizenship status are irrelevant. If this person has been legally declared the father, he can petition to change the child's name. If the other legal parent, the mother, opposes the change, the Court would have to determine what is in the best interest of the child.
Can a friend sign over her parental rights to her daughter to you?
Not arbitrarily. The biological mother and the person wishing to accept guardianship would need to follow the legal procedures as prescribed under the laws of the state in which the child resides. If paternity has been established, the biological father would also have to be a part of any change in custody.
