You cannot just get your F-1 status back and I assume you has not kept your F-1 status at present time. The only way is to get another I-20 issued by the shcool, leave the country and come back with F-1 visa. However, your unlawful status and filing of an immigrant petition by your husband will make it very difficult for you to prove you will just come back to U.S. to study.
Your husband should withdraw i-130 petition and you should withdraw I-485. U.S. CIS may serve you with Notice to Appear and put you into removal proceedings if you have no other reliefs in this country.

Once you are divorced, you will no longer be eligible to receive a visa based on the marriage to US spouse citizen. If there are no issues of abuse, then you are not eligible to apply for permanent residence under the Violence Against Women Act, either. Your options as to immigration relief are limited. You should consult an immigration attorney to explore your limited options before you divorce is final.
