CA Foundation topper list is not declared by ICAI. Earlier ICAI used to issue merit to the 50 top students of CA Foundation exam attempt, but 2019 onwards ICAI has decided not to issue merit list of CA Foundation students.
Any website/webpage/news article expressing the ca foundation topper is based on data that they would have collected, and not issued by ICAI.
Re-evaluation of evaluated answer books is not permitted as per CA Regulations 1988. This means that once an answer sheet is checked and marks are awarded to the ca foundation student, ICAI will not recheck the paper. This seems very unfair and a lot of ca students protested against this rule. However, instead of re-checking ICAI has provided students with 2 options -
Option 1: CA Foundation paper verification
Verification of answer sheet: CA Foundation students can go for verification of their answer sheets. Verification means
Checking:
So if you feel after looking at your ca result that there might be an error where some question you answered would not be evaluated, there would be some totaling error then you may go for this option
The procedure for verification is to apply online on ICAI Verification Procedure within a month from the date of declaration of results and also pay the applicable fee. It takes about 6-8 weeks for the verification process to complete and at the end there can be 4 outcomes

Option 2: CA Foundation Certified copies
Certified copies means that you will be provided with your checked answer book. Certified copies of evaluated answer book can be obtained by ca students.
However at CA Foundation level certified copies of paper 3 and paper 4 (these are the OMR based papers) only your OMR sheet would be provided and not the question paper.
When you apply for certified copies verification of answer books, is also carried out by the office, suo motu, in respect of all applications for certified copy of evaluated answer book and in case of any discrepancy leading to increase in total marks, a revised statement of marks is also sent to you.
