Can we Cast SObject dynamically in Salesforce(apex)?

Question

Is it possible to Cast SObject dynamically?

Example :

I know we can do this : 

(Account) Sobject

But I want to do this as the return type of sObject changes based on certain parameters.

(Dynamically Passing the Name) SObject

Any Kind of way around will be helpful... Thanks in advance :)

No, there isn't any way to do a dynamic typecast in Apex. But, what you can do to work through this is to make a virtual or abstract class with all of the logic using the dynamic apex form (e.g. record.put). Then have a subclass for the Lead type that covers this method's return type in a Lead cast.
