The IRS will not correct the Filing Status on your filed 2023 tax return.

You will have to wait for the IRS to either Accept or Reject your filed federal tax return.
If the return is rejected you can make the necessary changes and e-file again.
If the return is accepted you will have to amend your original tax return. An amended return, Form 1040-X, can only be printed and mailed to the IRS if the original tax return was not e-filed. The IRS will take up to 20 weeks or longer to process an amended tax return.

Before starting to amend the tax return, wait for the tax refund to be received or the taxes due to be paid and processed by the IRS.

If you already e-filed and used a filing status that you want to change, you will need to wait until the IRS has fully processed your original return.  Then you can amend to change your filing status if necessary.   It is not clear what you are wanting to change from or to.   You will not be permitted to switch from a joint return to married filing separately after the filing deadline on April 15.

If you need to amend to switch from a married separate return to married filing jointly:

You need a Form 1040X which is not yet available.   1040X becomes available later this month.
