We all know that MIB takes form of the persons who have died. So, then why was he stuck in Locke's body at the end? Why wasn't he able to change his appearance to another person, say Juliet??

Because when Desmond put out the light he lost the magic ability to do so. He was human again. The power then reverted to Hurley when in the end Jack turned the light back on. SO there fore he was able to have magic as well so to say.

I think that was a choice not a matter of being stuck as he did in fact turn into the smoke several times during the season. Locke's body was one that people knew, and even when he was alive and people questioned his motives most still followed and or trusted him in a weird way. Why not use that shape, who else did everyone respond to like that other then of coarse Jack.

I think he became Locke initially to try to fool the others into thinking he ws was Locke. I think he also felt the need to beng Locke because he wanted to be one of the seven Plus with Locke, there was no emotional attachement to the remaining six. If he became, Juliet, it would have eventually pissed off Sawyer who would have seen through the disguise. As Locke, he could also manipulate the others who in some ways had come to trust Locke. Locke often had to coerce the thers over to his way of thinking. MIB tried to work the same way.
