Is there anyway to change the PageType for Home in the requireDefaultRecords() to differnt page type other than Page without editing the core file?

Sure, requireDefaultRecords is run once per class so on your Page.php

function requireDefaultRecords() {
parent::requireDefaultRecords();

$home = DataObject::get_one("Page", "URLSegment = 'home'");
$home->ClassName = "NewSomethingClass";
$home->write();
$home->publish('Stage', 'Live');
}
