You gained admission on a B1 visa, I hope they trust you while issuing an F1 Visa (well you could be innocent though). If you want to get an F1 Visa simply apply for one however, if you want to do it there; you'll have to follow some strict conditions and also be valid on that B1 visa

Is your B1 visa currently holding a validation of 30 days and over, I'll recommend over 45 days left till expiry, so you'll have to not rush things

If application not possible or suspended till expiry, you'll have to go back to your country to do the regular application.
