A gentleman in my VFW was deployed to Iraq as an Infantryman, and assigned to a Infantry unit. He was tasked to serve as a gunner on a supply convoy, and during the convoy, he was engaged by a target and in turn, engaged and eliminated the target. For his actions, he was awarded the CAB instead of the CIB. If he has papers to prove who he was assigned to (Infantry Co, etc.), is there a way to get the CAB changed to a CIB?

Actually he DOES meet all criteria based on your provided information, and in fact, being that he was assigned to an infantry unit, the ONLY authorized badge would have been the CIB.

Per 600-8-22, Military Awards, the CIB is for personnel with the 11B/11A MOS or AOC.
