成为 is followed by a noun, for example 变得 cannot be used in this way:
我从小就想成为一名警察。 r/- [phr] Since I was little, I wanted to become a policeman (or policewoman).

"当" (dāng) versus "成为" (chéngwéi)

"当" can mean "to serve as," "to act as," or "to be" in a particular role or capacity. It often implies temporarily taking on a role or position for a specific purpose or period of time. "当" is commonly used when talking about fulfilling a role, duty, or function, such as "当老师" (dāng lǎoshī) - "to be a teacher"

"成为" means "to become" or "to turn into." It implies a transformation or change from one state or condition to another, often involving a process or progression. "成为" is used when discussing a transition or transformation into a new state or status, such as "成为医生" (chéngwéi yīshēng) - "to become a doctor". It emphasizes the result of a process leading to a new identity or status.
