I am trying to deviate a list to container in yang. I tried going through RFC#6020, and I couldn't figure-out how to deviate on the container level.

You can't change the type of a yang node. However, you can use deviate not-supported on the list and deviate add on the parent node to create a new container with the same name as the list. The child elements of the list will be lost.

What you try to achieve is not a common use case and deviation modules are not designed to do what you request. A deviation should be used as a last resort to let netconf clients know that some part of the yang modules is not supported or only with restrictions.

You can't do it. But you can use deviate not-supported on the list and augment a new container to the parent node. 'deviate' statment only can modify the poperties of data node ,but it can not add a new data node.
