Why are court cases similar to the amendments of the Constitution?
They aren't. They aren't even close to being the same thing. The Constitution is the law and amendments change that law. Court cases are the interpretation of that law. However, the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution and their ruling is taken as the correct one. Given that the rulings can change over time, they can create the idea that they are changing the law, but they are basing the changes on society's reaction to various things. Roe v. Wade is not an amendment and isn't a change to the Constitution, only the way in which it is to be interpreted.

Can the total number of members change in Senate?
No, it could not be changed by Congress alone. The US Constitution would have to be amended to do so. According to Article V of the US Constitution, the process would take a vote of two thirds of both houses of Congress to propose such an amendment, or upon an application by the legislatures of two thirds of the states, it could call for a constitutional convention for the proposal of such an amendment. Once final form of the amendment has been settled upon, it would have to be ratified by three quarters of the States, in order to make such a change to the Constitution. This would result in an Amendment to the Constitution (similar to other amendments, such as the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote).
