The answer does not depend on whether the person was born Jewish or converted. The traditional answer is, yes and no. For the purpose of business dealings, they are to be treated as a non-Jew. If they die, they are not to be mourned, but for purposes of marriage and the status of their children, they are considered Jewish. For a convert, this all assumes that the original conversion was sincere. If there are witnesses who can show that the original conversion was insincere, for example, the "convert" told them so, then that person was never really a Jew.

Can a Muslim man marry a non Muslim women who has child out of wedlock and does not want to change religion?

The first Islamic rule is that, per religion, a Muslim man can marry only a Muslim, Jewish, or Christian woman. So, if this non Muslim woman is Christian or Jewish, then per religion, the Muslim man can marry her without need for her to convert to Islam. otherwise, she should convert to Islam to be able to marry the Muslim man. However, her convert to Islam should be based on fill belief in Islam and not just for marriage purposes. As for the child out of wedlock, the child should reported officially in his/her birth certificate to his/her true father not to anyone else. Then, it is left for the married couple choice to agree upon where the child to be raised up.

Are Jewish People allowed to change religions?

AnswersNo.Just as many non-Jews adopt Judaism, many Jews have changed religion, and many will continue to do so. Once a Jewish person has left Judaism, he or she is no longer bound by the rules of Judaism.Judaism is more than a religion. It is a culture, a civilization, and somewhat a group sharing a common ancestry/history (ignoring converts who are not really Jews). Many Jews believe that even if a Jew leaves Judaism, he/she is still an ethnic Jew.
