Be the DM and have anything be any alignment you want.
Otherwise if players came across a young green dragon it can be persuaded and then add in some animal handling. Wouldn't hurt to speak draconic by whatever means.
In my campaign anything can be changed and turned.
When a Green Dragon truly becomes Good-aligned, its scales get a golden-like pearlescence. It is rare because Good-aligned Greed Dragons are pariahs among both Evil and Good Dragons as they are unable to hide their heritage and also unable to hide their non-conforming Alignment.
I just made that up. Total homebrew/houserule thing I thought up on-the-spot.
I figured that there could be some outward physical sign of the creature's alignment change. When animals become domesticated (or kept in a "zoological garden"), their posture and changes as their emotional state shifts, sometimes with other physical changes like the slouching dorsal fin on an orca or more/less color on a coat of fur for domesticating wild dogs. When people undergo major emotional changes, they can get flushed or go pale or, in cases of more long-term effects, look older or younger or their hair could naturally shift colors or lose all color altogether without aging to normal grey.
So.... Why not let Dragons have some outward appearance to a long-term adjustment to their emotional state? Why not have their alignment counterpart be the influence in their appearance?
In prior versions of D&D, the Gold Dragon was the Good counterpart to the Evil Green Dragon. So that's my logic to why a Good Green Dragon would have a golden sheen to their scales if there were to be an outward appearance.
Why, yes. My brain works weird. Why do you ask?

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.

I've actually did something similar, but they were able to not have it kill him, but convinced him not to, very easily, because he was immediately infatuated with the lawful good female NPC Human fighter (now an oath of Heroism Paladin in the next campaign).
I made him like a love sick teenager. Even though she doesnt acknowledge him, he still pines for her.
If the DM is up for an unusual use of Bestow Curse....curse it with an alignment change then watch a moral quandary unfurl as the dragon has to come to terms with behaving in a good way whilst knowing that its been cursed and removing the curse would revert it back to its old ways, which would be a bad thing so it really shouldn't remove the curse...etc etc....

Yeah that sounds dangerous for bad if the curse was removed.

How can one turn a young green dragon good, and is there any indication that it's alignment has changed?
Step 1, have raised it from birth in a kind environment and teach it right from wrong (should only take 100 years or so to mature to young Dragon).
You will know you succeeded if not only does it not kill you or others, but actually voluntarily helps.
