There are some articles about things that reptiles can learn. The predominant thought about reptiles for centuries has been that they are stupid. But new research conducted with an open mind has shown that reptiles can learn some things. Since it is new research, the breadth and depth of what reptiles learn is not specifically known, yet. But here are two articles about studies:

In this University of Rochester article, "Snakes Show Surprising Ability to Learn", it is reported that snakes learned to escape from a complicated bucket with holes in it.

New York Times: "Cold Blooded Does Not Mean Stupid". In this article it is reported that a tortoise learned to navigate a maze and lizards learned to get food out of a trap door.

What do you do if a if a lizard hates you?

Nothing. They're reptiles. Reptiles lack the brain bits (cerebrum) that mammals have which makes them capable of complex emotions like love and hate. For reptiles it's eat/don't eat, attack/flee, and so forth. They will learn where the food comes from, and eventually learn not to bite the hand that feeds them, but they simply have no way of expressing love, hate, or anything in-between.
