I'm trying to write a parody story, but I'm not sure if I would be able to publish it?

If it's based on someone else's work, you can't make money off of it unless it's public domain (like Alice in Wonderland) or you have permission from the creator of whatever source you're using (typically this means paying for the rights to use the material, if they're even willing to sell).

So in answer to your question, no you probably could not publish it professionally or make money off of it, but you could still post it to a fanfiction site like AO3, FFN or Wattpad.

Well, the story-line is kinda similar, but I made some changes and I'm using my own characters.

There's nothing wrong with being inspired by another person's writing, just be sure it's different enough that it's not considered plagerism.
