What happens when you put brake fluid in the power steering spot?

Most likely the brake fluid will corrode and eat-away the seals on your power steering system. Brake fluid has a mineral in it that the rubber seals of the PS system can't handle. If you drive it long enough you'll either get severe leaks, or potentially the pump will seize. Best advice is to drain the system, fill with proper PS fluid, run it, then drain again. Get clear fluid if you can so you can tell when the brake fluid is out. This will likely take a few bottles

When to replace brake fluid of Chevrolet optra 2005?

There is no specified time to replace the brake fluid of any vehicle, as long as you keep it topped up. Brake fluid does not 'wear out'. I have replaced the entire brake fluid on only a few occasions, and always only because I have been replacing seals or brake cylinders and it made sense to replace fluid then, before bleeding the system.
