If there are restrictions set up in Screen Time on your iPhone you can not change the date by yourself.

Have a look at the related article:

To change a birth date to any age below 13*, the account must be a member of a Family Sharing group, and the family organiser must approve the change. Follow the steps to change a birth date on the web. You can also create a new Apple Account for a child.

To change a birth date of any child account set to an age below 13*, you might have to wait for the account to naturally age up. If you see “your birth date cannot be changed to this date”, you can’t change to a birth date that would no longer be a child account.*

*Age varies by country or region.

● If an app or feature on your device is not working, not appearing, or is restricted (grayed out), a frequent reason is it may have been disabled using Screen Time, or by a technology administrator if you are using a device owned by an employer or educational institution.

- Read this support article If your Apple ID or other options are greyed out in Settings —> If your Apple Account is grayed out in Settings, or you can't sign out - Apple Support


Tap your Settings app > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > scroll to Allow Changes and turn on.


- If the device is managed (check: Settings > General > VPN (or Profiles) & Device Management), contact the technology department of the organization that is doing the managing.
