The best way to deal with this isn't to go behind your mom's back. If she's not allowing you to shave your legs and one day she notices that there's not any hair on them anymore, you could lose her trust.
I started getting picked on in gym class when I was in 7th grade for not shaving my legs. It was mortifying, I remember it like it was yesterday. My mom didn't want me to, and wouldn't get me a razor. I couldn't just walk to a store and get one because I lived in the middle of nowhere so one day I just used hers. I ended up cutting myself with it and she ended up noticing. She got really mad, but did end up getting me a razor and showing me how to use it properly. I wish that I had just had the courage to talk to her about it.
Moms are really understanding if you give them the chance. Why do you want to shave your legs? Is everyone else doing it? If so, I'm sure it's extremely embarrassing and you don't want to end up becoming a social outcast over something so silly that you actually want to do. Be real with your mom and tell her exactly what you're thinking and feeling. As long as you're just trying to fit in and avoid getting bullied rather than wanting to do it to impress guys, you should be able to get what you want. You don't want to feel like you have to wear pants every day because you're just to embarrassed. I wish you the best of luck and please try to talk to your mom about it before doing something stupid like I did.
You may be thinking to yourself "but I've already tried talking to her and it doesn't work". Sure you're tried asking and perhaps whining or begging, but have you really had a deep conversation about it in which you talk about your feelings and how this may be negatively affecting your social life and self confidence? She just wants you to stay a little girl and enjoy your childhood while you can. It's a pain to have to shave all the time and always have to look your best and she's trying to save you from all that. If she realizes that she's truly affecting your confidence and holding you back by doing this, she'll likely give in. Let her know that you're ready. The best way to start is by having a mature conversation about it.

You can try to use products like Nair. It's a cream that basically burns the hair off and then you wash the cream off. It's painless, but the cream does smell (like...burnt hair). I've tried them before and I feel shaving is quicker, products like Nair is still an option. You can also trim the hair. Hair trimmers can be bought for cheap. Waxing can be an option too. I've never really bothered with that, so I don't know much about it.

Technically you do not need your mother's permission to shave your own legs. You can biy your own razor at Walmart in the woman's department for about $8.00. Just shave your legs when you take a shower. This is not something you need to tell your parents. Just do it
If you don't have a walmart near by then just walk to a cvs or Walgreens.
