A proton never changes to an electron just as a dog never changes to a cat, they are completely different things really. In beta decay a neutron may decay into a proton and emit and electron and an anti-neutrino but that is about it.

How can you decide that electron is a negative charge and proton is a positive charge?

These are arbitrary names, given a long time ago. You might just as well call the electron positive and the proton negative; or the electron "left" and the proton "right", or the electron "up" and the proton "down". However, the current convention is so well-established that it won't be likely to change anytime soon.These are arbitrary names, given a long time ago.
