Both verbs are correct, with different meaning. The subjunctive if I were is used to express a contrary-to-fact condition in the present: If I were he, I would be someone else. The declarative if I was he would be for a condition in the past that is not known to be contrary to fact: If I was he, who were you? The latter usage is rare, naturally.
