This very much depends on your church. The word deacon is derived from the greek word that means servant (as in a waiter at a restaurant). This indicates that deacons are to serve the church. Churches get this idea from the argument in the church recorded in Acts 6. In this story, the apostles appointed deacons to serve the church so the apostles could concern themselves with other matters. This should give an idea of what deacons do. They take care of things in the church so that the other leaders can focus on spreading the word.

Deacon and minister are just titles within a church. Once you are ordained you technically hold all of these titles and can perform all of the duties, but can specialize in one at a time, often your church will appoint you to such positions sometimes in a hierarchy. This is really a question for your church on how they treat such titles, but I don't know of any religion that doesn't consider being ordained for life.

Are deacons supposed to be over ministers in the church?
In the Christian Church the word 'Deacon' varies theological and denominational traditions and canons (laws). In some churches the word Deacon refers to a clerical office within the church. In others it is an euphemism for laity. In almost every instance a deacon is subordinate to the minister designate within the church. In Anglican and Catholic churches, deacons assist priests in their pastoral and administrative duties, but often report directly to the bishop. They have a distinctive role in the liturgy, their main tasks being to proclaim the Gospel, preach, assist in the administration of the Eucharist, and to serve the poor and outcast. In Scotland, the title of Deacon can refer to the president, chairperson, or head of a Masonic Lodge or Trade Guild. The etymology of the word 'Deacon' literally means 'through the dust', referring to the dust raised by a busy servant or messenger. A biblical description of the qualities required of a deacon, and of their household, can be found in The Bible, in: 1 Timothy 3:1-13.
