No - read the new definition of planet.
As the 4th largest planet in the solar system it is nowhere near being considered a dwarf planet - Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth would get that kind of designation before Neptune would even be thought of.
The only way it could become a dwarf planet would be for it to lose most of its mass; it's far too low density to shrink by collapsing into a smaller planet.
Neither, it is a full fledged planet. A gas giant to be exact.
It is not a star because to be a star there must be a nuclear fusion process going on inside the core. It is also too big to be dwarf star, and it never had fusion so it also isn't a dwarf star.
Neptune is neither a dwarf planet nor a star. It is a gas giant, the eighth and farthest planet from the sun in our solar system.

Which dwarf planet is closer than Neptune 10 percent of the time?
Pluto is the dwarf planet that is closer to the Sun than Neptune about 10% of the time due to its elliptical orbit.
