no, changing the birth certificate requires adoption, and can only be done if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated.
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
She ma not know who the father is. Over 30% of paternity tests come out negative. She may think it will prevent him from obtaining parental rights, which it does not.
If the father wants custody rights, this would be usable in court.

Probably not unless parental rights were terminated or otherwise limited. Best consult a lawyer.
The birth certificate is not something that gives him parental rights, he have to go to court for that and prove it by DNA test. A birth certificate does not require DNA so it does not hold up in court. So yes, if he has gone to court he has rights.
No. There is no requirement for the child to have to "know" the father for him to give up his parental rights.
