How is orbit altered?

Several ways:

One could increase velocity, which translates into a higher altitude (apogee), or decrease velocity (lower perigee). Changes in Delta-V. If these changes aren't balanced, one will get an eccentric orbit.

Rocket inputs perpendicular to travel will change orbital inclination.

How can a satellites orbit be altered?

A satellite's orbit can be altered by using thrusters to change its speed and direction. By firing the thrusters in different ways, the satellite can move to a higher or lower orbit, adjust its inclination, or even escape Earth's orbit entirely. Additionally, gravitational assists from other celestial bodies can also be used to alter a satellite's orbit.

What force allows asteroids to fall from orbit and hit Earth's surface?

The asteroids that strike earth's surface do not fall from orbit. Asteroids have fairly small masses, so their orbits are easily altered by interactions with other objects. Sometimes the orbit of an asteroid is changed such that its orbit intersects Earth's orbit. If the timing works out so that the asteroid reaches the point of interestion at the same time as Earth does, then a collision will result.
