If your parents have already claimed you, there won't be any way for you to electronically file your tax return unless you mark that you were claimed as a dependent.
It isn't likely that you will see a big difference in the amount of your refund or tax due filing with or without that indicator, unless you were hoping to claim refundable education credits.
If you believe that you meet the criteria for providing more than half of your own support and don't want to indicate that you are a dependent, then you can print your return and file it by mail.
If you file by mail and indicate that you are not a dependent you and your parents will receive letters from the IRS later in the year asking for support of the position on the return. It may not be worth this headache, even if you do save a few dollars of tax. However, that is the route to take if you wish to pursue the dependency issue.
