Yes, religious Jewish males do. Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Note that Jewish married women traditionally cover their hair (Talmud, Ketubot 72b). This is for the purpose of modesty - only her husband should see her beauty - since the hair is considered beautiful (Talmud, Berakhot 24a).

What are the hats Jewish wear to traditional cerimonies called?
Jewish men are commanded to cover their head in respect to God at all times, especially while praying, or at a religious event or service. The main form of head cover is a Kippah, or Yalmukah. However, only Orthodox Jews wear Kippahs at all times. Most Reform, Conservative, and some Modern Orthodox Jews do not wear kippahs at all times, and only wear them while at Temple, or another religious event.

What did the Jews have to wear at all time?
For a clear and simple answer you are going to have to provide more information about what time and place you are asking about. In places under the control of the NAZI regime, from about 1934 until the end of WWII in Europe, Jews had to wear a yellow star. In other places, at other times, other bigoted and racist regimes required Jews to wear other distinguishing clothing, such as (in Western Europe in the Middle Ages) distinctive styles of hats. Jewish religious laws are interpreted by some Jews to require that Jews wear hats or at least yarmulkes, and sometimes phylacteries, and sometimes prayer-shawls.
