You're not going to convince your parents to let you do that as long as they are totally opposed to that whole lifestyle.
However, if you wish to try then here is what you have to do;
The only way possible to have them even consider your way is to speak to them rationally about goth over time. You are going to have to attempt to educate them about it. You will have to get on their level with it though. This will take time, DO NOT try to educate them overnight. It take time and finesse.
If you want a quick fix - just tell them that Goth is not a way of life for you. Tell them that you just like the look and the fashion of it. Tell them that the kids at your school dont "do" goth they just dress that way. DO NOT use phrases like "express myself" if your going to go this route.
Finally, you could just do it and suffer the consequences later. That's depending on what you think the conseqences might be. If its something as simple as being grounded then just do it. You'll be grounded for a week and when its over your hair will still be black and they will be able to see that a different hair color didnt change who you are.
By the way, im obviously not goth I just know how to manipulate a situation to get what I want.

Write an essay or do a really detailed drawing on goth. That way, they can't refuse you, because j worked so hard unless they are bad parents.

R u going goth because of that's the style or bc you really want to be if it is the former just tell your parents that and they'll most likely let you dye your hair. If that doesn't work keep bringing the subject up until they get sick of it and cave it. This worked when I wanted to get my nose pierced.

Write an essay about the history of "goth"-it works. Then ask again. If that doesn't work, then write an essay on hair dying products. The upside/downside, you know. Seriously-parents love this. Research well so you know and (ThEy know you know) what you're doing. Don't forget to cite those resources!

Tell them that it's important for you and that they can come with you to the hair salon (if that the price to pay..) and let them see that you're not doing anything wrong.
