I've seen 2 options though i'm not a lawyer, so do some more research.

Either u need to change your status from H1B to F1 here inside, or Leave US and come back fresh with new F1 visa (new I-20). The old one doesn't exists any more since it already got changed to H1B. You need to leave the country within 60 days. And make sure you will not be in the status next day you leave your job so got to be careful, and should talk to the employer about the scenario just to bridge the gap.

Regards.
