Heyo,
If your player wants to play a magic using character, he'll have to start
using a new character. Changing a non-using character to a using character is
a strict NO-NO. The character has to be created (as and archetype or through
priorities) to be a magician. That's because in Shadowrun, the ability has to
do with genetic predisposition, unlike in AD&D, in which people merely have to
know how to manipulate the currents of magic in the world.
