Is there a way of changing the purpose of entry from business to leisure while in the US

Quick question - does anyone know if there's a way of changing your purpose of visit from work to tourism while in the US without flying out and back in?

Long story short, I have a job in America I need to fly in for, so I'll be using my media visa (I-VISA). Once my work is done, I plan to stay with my American wife for a month or so, so I want to switch to my ESTA as I don't think this is correct use of my I-VISA, and while technically I could do it, I don't want to take any risks.

I can't find any information online about whether this change is possible without exiting the USA. I'd really love to avoid excess flights at the moment where possible.

Thanks in advance!

More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
