Unfortunately you cannot attend classes for academic credit prior to USCIS having approved your COS. Talk to your school's DSO. You need to await the decision by USCIS of whether approve or deny your I-539. You will be in legal status in the US during the time the I-539 is pending.

File another I-539 to extend your B1 visa, since USCIS otherwise may deny your change to F1 based on the date the I-20 expires.
