when the Supreme court decides to hear a case, the petitioner and the respondent each prepare a written brief. In case where the outcome will affect a group, but the group is not involved in the case, a "friend of the court" brief may be requested.

That depends on what you mean by "presented."Cases are typically appealed to the US Supreme Court on a petition for a writ of certiorari, which includes a legal brief prepared by the attorney or attorneys for the petitioner (similar to a plaintiff). The respondent(s)' attorney(s) may oppose the petition with their own brief.If the Court grants certiorari, the case may be scheduled for oral argument, allowing each side 30 minutes to explain to the justices why their client should prevail. During oral argument, the justices ask questions about the case or relevant precedents and points of law (although the justices are often better prepared than the attorneys, already know the answers to the questions, and may have already decided how they are going to vote after case conference).

The court would have to decide if you have standing to do so. Now, if by 'intervene' you mean submit a friend of the court brief, you have to ask the court for permission, and there may be restrictions, e.g. to ask the U.S Supreme Court for permission to submit a third-party brief you have to be an attorney licensed to practice and a member of the bar of the Supreme Court.
