You couldn't. Where you were born is where you stayed. Born a serf stayed a serf, born a peasant stayed a peasant, born noble stayed noble. Nobles could move to some extent if they pleased the crown, but that was it.
A peasant worked the land, but had freedom. A serf was bound to the land that they worked. They would live on the manor of a noble and work the land in exchange for food and protection.
A knight would often be a vassal of a more powerful noble, or subsidiary to the noble in another way.A powerful noble could also hold a knighthood himself.
