The only options you have are 

Go back through the "My Info" section and answer "Yes" "Someone else can claim me" and Someone else will claim me"

OR

Paper-file and mail your return

If you paper-file and mail your return claiming yourself, the IRS will process both returns, then investigate and determine who should claim you. The person found in error will most likely owe additional tax and penalties.
