Only a small percentage of eukaryotic DNA, estimated to be around 1-2%, is directly involved in transcribing protein-coding genes. The rest of the DNA is involved in various regulatory functions, such as controlling gene expression and maintaining genome structure.

What is the process in a eukaryotic cell when DNA changes to a protein?

Protein synthesis. The question is a bit misleading. DNA doesn't change into a protein, but it transcribes a messenger RNA which translates for a particular polypeptide sequence. DNA itself is unchanged throughout the process.

When RNA becomes protein the process is called?

RNA does not become protein. Messenger RNA transcribes the DNA code and carries it to a ribosome where it is translated by transfer RNA into a sequence of amino acids that will make a protein. The entire process is called protein synthesis.
