Changing from BC by decent to other form of BC'ship?

Hi

I am a British Citizen by decent and not by birth, what I wanted to know was is it possible to change to some other form of citizen ship? I ask because I was told my children cannot inherit nationality if born abroad and I have a son who is not a BC who lives abroad.

Thanx
