Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

If you are a Muslim female, it isn't permitted to marry a non-Muslim man. Such a marriage wouldn't be valid. You should find a way to not listen to your mother if she is the one trying to force you to marry a non-Muslim. 
 

May Allah grant you success 

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

If her father prevented her from marrying a suitable believing man for no valid reason, his authority drops and she may marry without his permission. The father rejecting the boy for not 'being a sayed' isn't a valid reason. This practice is usually found in the indo-pak region and is due to Hindu caste system influence. All scholars permit marriage between sayed and non Sayeds. 
 

May Allah grant you success 

Bismihi ta'ala

There are difference of opinion among our esteemed jurists, so this is something you will need to specifically find out what the fatwa is of your Marja' Taqleed.

I would add that for us Muslims, compatibility is extremely important, not just in life ambitions, or personal preferences or feelings, but in lifestyle and ideology. For example, if you are a Muslim, you would like to have an Islamic environment in your household, and create a spiritual atmosphere, with correct divine direction, under Allah ta'ala. If  you are a follower of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), you want your family members, and your children to live and breath the Imams as, and follow their lifestyle and represent them. 

This can only happen if there is synchronisation in belief and ideology as well.

With prayers for your sucess.
