I am also a low time pilot, but if you ask me dude if the tower denied southwest to land on a different runway, then I would think its because of a good reason. So with that being said, being the P.I.C if he really felt he had to, then he would just go around. I was tought whenever you have to second guess your landing, the safest thing to do is just to go around. To answer your question if that is legal, well I'm not sure but I dont see why not.
