Hello,
NTA has not yet announced the JEE Main correction window dates. It will open after the registration process ends, and the notice will be released on the official website.
You can usually edit details like school name and category-related information during the correction window. So, you should be able to correct the school name and the OBC certificate authority field if those sections are made editable.
Keep checking the JEE Main website regularly, and make the changes as soon as the correction window opens.
Hope it helps !
