I am a newby to all of this upgrade stuff. I want to use my plus points.

I have a business class ticket on Lufthansa on April 20 from MUC to JFK with a P fare. I bought the ticket through United. I called United to change the flight from a code share to the Lufthansa flight number and then asked them to upgrade me from business class to first class with plus points. They changed the flight number to the Lufthansa flight number and then said I could not upgrade. After searching online, I learned that only certain fare types are upgradable. It looks like I would need a C, D, or J fare to be upgrade eligible.

Is there any way to change the fare class so that I can upgrade to first with plus points?
