Hi Nikhil,
'Validate type change' Business rule is restricting this. You need to disable this and then try to do this.
Mark Correct if it solved your issue or hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy.

For your info, changing the type of a field may delete all the data for that column. So try that in some dev instance first before doing this in prod.
