Particular to the game, I think it very much depends on the ships that make up the convoy. I have had the status of a convoy change after sinking a number of ships from it.
I have had both the reported "size" (small, medium or large) of a convoy and the military value (enemy or neutral) change after successful attacks on convoys on at least three occasions.
Certainly the latter appears to depend either on the number of neutral ships or overall neutral tonnage in a convoy. I decimated a convoy north of Ireland in late 1939 to the point that it became a "neutral convoy". It still had several smaller legitimate targets sailing in the convoy but many of the remaining ships were from neutral nationalities, including a particularly large american tanker.
