Hi Abhishek,
It is legal to change grips. However you are better off to modify your shakehand grip. All you need to do is take the 3 fingers off the handle and put them behind the handle in a fist. Then you are basically controlling the bat with your thumb and forefinger. This will allow you to use you wrist in the same motion as with the penhold grip.
