Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
I support what the others have said about talking to parents about the 'need' for a computer. Many schools today expect papers typed, not handwritten and have computer rooms at school where kids can sign up for times to use but its not always a guarantee you can get a time slot. I remember my daughters having that issue.
You may have to prove to the parents first that you truly have theses "needs" by them scheduling times for you to use their computer. If you end up using their computer more than they do so they can't get any time on their own, they may see the best thing is to get you one of your own.
My ex had an in home business and home office and his once upon a time was the only computer in the house. As I mentioned the girls were unable to have school access to a computer to get homework done. Of 3 kids, 2 were at an age of teacher requiring computer typed projects. So they had to use Dads. With both of them needing pcs to do schoolwork, it ended up he had less time for doing his business on there and thats upset him greatly. So when he upgraded to a new computer, the still functional one went to the daughters to share. In another year or two, that wasn't good enough. At a computer upgrade at work, the IT guy sent emails out that the first to respond would get free, one of five pc's that they replaced. I got one. Now the girls were happy and able to get school work done and also have time to start emailing friends and setting up myspace pages. I checked on them often to see what they were doing and viewing on line.
One daughter loved anime and watched all the anime cartoons and movies she could find, obsessed I'd call it---choosing to watching ones spoken in Japanese with English subtitles and actually learned to speak some Japanese that way and went on to take more Japanese in college and befriend the Japanese exchange students.
Good luck.

I don't think going behind your dads back just to get a computer is a good idea.
I think you need help on how to convince him that you need a computer, just like adviceman said. You don't convince him that you "want" a computer. You have to convince him that you "need" a computer. If you just want one, he's not going to get it for you. But if you find reasons why you need one, then he may let you get one.
So look into reasons why you need one. Ex. Homework like writing essays, doing research, projects, ect.

I do not recommend going behind your dad's back to obtain a computer. The price you will pay when he finds out, and he will, will be very high.
Instead of going behind his back you need to convince him that a computer is no longer a luxury. That computers are used in school and that class assignments and homework assignments for some teachers are assigned on the computer and that students must to go online to get them. At least that is the way things are in the schools where I live. It is also the way of the future in education as more and more schools are wired for the web.
Your school may or may not be fully there yet but it will be as that is the way education is going. If you need help in a subject you will be able to email your teacher. There will be tutoring sessions online as well. To take advantage of this you will need at the very least either a laptop or tablet computer.
Should your school be going this way or is there now. Then enlisting the help of your teachers to convince your dad to allow you to have a laptop or tablet computer should convince your dad of the need. Until he sees the need he won't by you one. What you are trying to do is convince your dad you NEED a computer not just want one. You have to sell him on the need not the desire. When he sees the need I'm sure he will change his mind.
Honesty is always the best policy. There is an old quote; "Those who seek to deceive are in the end deceived themselves." Think about that before you go behind your dads back to get anything.
