You have expressed your opinion to your boss. Hopefully, you have thoroughly explained why you feel a different direction is required to achieve the goals assigned to you.

Your boss has chosen not to grant your requests. Ultimately, this is your boss's decision to make.

You now have two options:

 - Try as hard as you can to achieve the assigned goals using the resources given to you. It appears that this might require some training and hand holding.
 - Find a new job and leave this one.

If you choose to find a new job, make sure you take time during the interview process to talk about the resources that will be available to you.

In general, we don't always get to hand pick our teams. And we often don't get all the resources (people, time, money) we would like.
