With a touch, you place an illusion on a willing creature or an object that isn’t being worn or carried. A creature gains the Mask effect below, and an object gains the False Aura effect below. The effect lasts for the duration. If you cast the spell on the same target every day for 30 days, the illusion lasts until dispelled.
Mask (Creature). Choose a creature type other than the target’s actual type. Spells and other magical effects treat the target as if it were a creature of the chosen type.
False Aura (Object). You change the way the target appears to spells and magical effects that detect magical auras, such as Detect Magic. You can make a nonmagical object appear magical, make a magic item appear nonmagical, or change the object’s aura so that it appears to belong to a school of magic you choose.

According to the RAW here, no, though sentient objects are pretty rare.
Let's say there's a magical item that has charges that can be used with a magical action, and it's under the effect of that spell and appears to be a non-magical item.
Can a character (especially a spellcaster) holding that item use the charges of that item if they think it's a non-magical item?
Can they understand/feel that the item has magical charges just by holding it?
Should the DM tell the character that they can use some magical action while holding that item (without other details)?
To answer these questions in order:
Keep in mind, though that all this spell does when used in that manner is prevent spells and magical effects from identifying the object as magical. It doesn't stop someone from telling you the item is magical, attuning to it, or using it once you know what it is.
No, because when a creature dies it stops being a Creature and the body becomes an Object
Dead creatures are still creatures.
I couldn't find a clear information about my Question anywhere.
If I change my Creature-Type from Human to Undead would that mean that I become immune to the Poisoned, Charmed and Paralyzed Condition for example?
Those Creature Types have "in general" characteristic Immunities and/or Resistances accross the board. Would those also apply?
Is there anywhere a List where I could look up those changes or what creature-type brings certain benefits and/or debuffs?
No, because creature types do not automatically confer any immunities or resistances. While it's true that undead often have certain immunities and resistances, these are not universal to all undead, and they're due to these creatures' stat blocks explicitly saying that they're immune/resistant to certain things, not because of their creature type.
There's no list of benefits/debuffs provided by creature types because there aren't any. As stated in the Player's Handbook Rules Glossary here, "the [creature] types don't have rules themselves".
Thanks a lot.
So beside some niche applications this spell seems most useful with the "Suggestion" + "Planar Binding" Spells on creatures that aren't immune to the "Charmed" Condition to create several Pets/Servants/Spies you can command?
- Use Suggestion on a creature and tell it to stand still for 8 hours and accept all spell-effects (Nystuls and Planar Binding doesn't break the Charmed Condition and therefore the Creature remains "willing").
- Change the Creature-Type to any Type that works with "Planar Binding".
- You get a servant for the duration of "Planar Binding". -> 366 days at 9th level
Even with a 6th or 7th level Planar Binding that can be quite powerful.
Or is there anything very important/powerful that I miss completely?
Changing a magical object into a non-magical object (at least its appearance) sounds nice but I can't imagine to use this Spell very often over the course of a campaign
It can also protect a creature against harmful spells that target a specific creature type (e.g. Charm Person) but yes, it's a pretty niche spell.
Well, "Suggestion" is a pretty common spell in most builds (that have access to it).
A Wizard can switch spells out so that shouldn't be a problem to create an army of servants. A bard most likely also has Suggestion or anything like that prepared. So for spending two prepared slots even a Bard could make many "minions".
So it can be really powerful in that way.
Sadly you can't change a Creature-Typ into the Type "Object". That would be S-Tier :D
