Unfortunatly BF3 has an age restriction because they are required to by law. IF the ESRB gives it M then it's 17+ period. IF battlefield allows an online code to be redeemed by an underage user they are violating the ESRB. Just like if your 12 year old child went into a movie by himself that was rated R, the movie theater would be violating the law. The easiest work around would be to create a new gamertag to play online that is "old" enought. As far I know microsoft will not allow you to change the age of any user for the lifetime of the gamertag.
and please Remember to accept the solution if it's correct and press the XP button if somebody helped.

Are you on Xbox 360?
If so, there's an FAQ at the EA Help Center:

Basically, he'll need to make sure his EA account and Gamertag are linked and, if so, he'll need to check with Xbox support for options to upgrade it to an adult account.
If it's PC, have him contact EA Help for account assistance.
For PS3, he'll actually have to create a new PSN ID because once made, it's pretty hard to change anything (and you can't change the PSN ID ever).
