In the Catholic Church, you never become a certain post, instead you ask for God's desire to be done and if He deems you worthy, then you are granted a position.
The procedures for the election of a Mother Superior differs among the different religious orders.
It's best to ask a female religious of a religious order or to visit that order's website if you want to find out more.
Mother is the common term used for any Sister who is appointed (or elected) to a superior's job in a convent or monastery. Mother Prioress, Mother Superior, Mother Abbess, etc. Some Orders call all of their solemnly professed sisters "Mother". The Order of Loretto, which was Mother Teresa's Order before she founded the Sisters of Charity was one such Order. The Mother Superior in most Orders is just the woman who is in charge. The Mother Suprior of the entire Order is usually elected, and then she appoints those under her.
