Siebu,
This is what I would suggest that you do, not sure if the I-130 has been approved or it was just a receipt of your filing. Irrespective of what is for, you should write to USCIS office in Montana, which is where your I-130 was processed and indicate to them that your name was entered incorrectly in their system. All that you have to write is this in the letter:
To Whom it might Concern:
Please find attached copy of recently filed I-130 petition for Mr. Richard Antonio Dalhousie. The name entered into your system and appearing in the attached notice is incorrect, and hereby request that this error be fixed immediately. The incorrect name is: Ms. Ricardo Anthony Dalhouse, AND THE CORRECT NAME which should appear in the I-130 notice is: Mr. Richard Antonio Dalhousie.
Look forward to a speedy resolution to this matter.
Mr. Richard Antonio Dalhousie.
That's it...

And do i have to send a copy of the birthcertificate..
Yes. Any time you contact them to correct something about your name, you have to provide proof of your actual name.
Are you saying that the birth certificate provided for the I-130 had your wrong name? Or was it just your I-130 paperwork that had the wrong name? If you gave them a birth certificate with an incorrect name, it might take more than a letter and a copy of the birth cert. to set things right. You might have to sort it out in the interview, bringing both the wrong and right birth certificates, and other documents to corroborate the correct name (e.g. your passport).
