are there any enchantments a warforged can put on his plating (ie adamantine body) to make it lighter? (instead of heavy medium or even i high level spell that makes it light?) i mean for the perpouses of class abilities (ie bardic spells and what not)

There is a feat that lets works on the other side of things - Battle Caster from complete arcane (and reprinted in a few other supplements I believe) that increases the category of armor you can wear.

Being "stuck" with your type of armor plating is sort of what I considered to be part of the balance of Warforged. As a DM, I would not allow any enchantments to allow it to be treated as light armor.
