"Undertaken" seems like a wrong word, but it is hard to tell what you mean. Maybe "The government should be petitioned to alter the law."

I think you're using the passive voice where you intend the meaning of the active.

The government should undertake to alter the law.

More naturally,

The government should change the law.
