Pharaohs became rulers through birth- they were sometimes born into positions, but usually it was assigned through a strategic system;

1) Elders and the elite would select and vote for the best and brightest figures--be they war heroes, scholars, a member of the elite, or some how favored positions in the Egyptian government.

2) After selected, then the person would become pharaoh--but this often took place over a period of several years---unless born into.

Why can't anyone become pharaoh?

If you mean why can't just anyone become pharaoh, it's because you have to be the oldest surviving son of the old pharaoh to become pharaoh, or I think if the son(s) perished, then the husband of the daughter of the old pharaoh. And, anyway, Egypt moved out of that system of government AGES ago, just to let you know.
