Someone destroyed my Anvil horn

I recently purchased a 55 pound anvil online. The anvil appears to be cast iron with a steel face. Whoever owned it before me knocked a huge crater into the top of the horn. I am new to blacksmithing and I am currently purchasing everything I need to make tools and knives. I do not like the shape of the horn and I believe it is made of cast-iron. Can I grind the horn down to any shape and size I want without destroying the integrity of the horn? I need to take between 3/8 and half an inch off of the top and I want the end pointed instead of rounded
