Changing my credit from Producer to Actor, when people search for me on IMDB. I want it to show as Actor next to my name and current film I done. My short film was completely done by me, produced, directed, acted, edited etc... However I want my Actor credit shown instead of Producer when people search my name. As i'm an inspiring actor rather than Producer.

Emperor so the only solution for me to fix this is to add more acting credits to the parts I played on my short film?

Actually this specific solution is impossible, as well as ill-advised.

Each cast member may only have one credit on IMDb, no matter how many were listed in the on-screen credits. If a single person is listed in three separate credits for three different character, they would be credited on IMDb as :

John Doe . . . Character 1/2nd Character/Char the third

This can be a problem when a person has multiple credits some of which need attributes (like (uncredited) or (voice)) as the attributes are entered in a separate field that applies to the whole entry.

Well, not to just manipulate the page. To hold back on listing credits to make your page look the way you want it to isn't exactly ethical.

Keep in mind, the only one it matters to is you. Since there is no significance or importance to the order, no one looking at your page cares nor thinks it is implied.

So, really, acting more will result in showing it first, not just listing acting credits to make the page look the way you want and holding back other credits. And, keep in mind, anyone can add credits. So, people seeing a film you are listed on screen for something other than acting, can add it.

All of what bmSF says, plus I doubt that'd work.
