If I change my status to a spouse of a British Citizen then:
1.Can I sponsor my mother as dependent.

1. You would need to leave the UK and apply for entry clearance in that category but , assuming she actually meets the onerous requirements in the parent settlement category, you could not sponsor your mother for a further 2 years until you were granted ILR.
2. See 1.

No your wife's can't sponsor your mother.

You can only sponsor your mother after you have ILR, which, if you return home to apply for entry clearance as the spouse of a settled person, would be two years after you have entered the UK in that capacity.

However, I think you should discuss with a competent person the chances of your mother being granted settlement beforehand.
