A cuckold is a married man whose wife is sexually active with other men without his knowledge or consent. So you become one through the action of others, although your choice of partner and your behavior in the marriage might have some impact on it.
The word "cuckold" is also used in BDSM fetish to describe a relationship in which one partner gets a masochistic/submissive thrill from having the other partner be sexually active outside the pair. The submissive partner is called a cuckold in the scene (although as consenting partners they are in fact "wittols" in real life.)
If by "become a cuckold" you mean "become a cuckold fetishist," then the answer has to do with the eroticization of profound fears of betrayal, emasculation, and measuring-up. These fears may have become this profound as a result of trauma, or from the thousand cuts of your upbringing. For any specific individual, psychoanalysis would be needed to uncover the unique roots of their own kinks. The dynamic however, is the same, the mind eroticizes what it fears in order to render it endurable and your libido learns to play with this as a reliable way to turbo charge erotic stimulation.
If by "become a cuckold" you mean "how does someone who has a cuckold fetish live out their fantasies," then you merely need a willing partner. internet matching site and chat forums have made this much easier. Many specialize in BDSM, fetish, and "alternative lifestyles." Also there are often local gatherings of fetish and kink communities where you can meet and network with folks until you find a good match.
If a person is already married and hasn't previously discussed this kink with their partner, then honest, direct communication and sharing of deep intimacies and dark fantasies between the couple are necessary for exploring this or other sexual variations. (Necessary, but not sufficient. Your partner may say no, but you are still better off for having been honest with them.)
Yes, that is one use of the term "cuckold", which can also be used as a verb (to make a cuckold of someone).
A cuckold is a man whose wife is not faithful to him. It is considered an embarrassing and unmanly situation.

Cuckold is a noun meaning a man who is married to an unfaithful wife. Cuckold is also a verb meaning to make a cuckold of.

Only the wittol knows he is no cuckold.

A husband is a man who is married. A cuckold is a married man whose wife/partner is sexually active another man (or other men). The adding of "husband" to cuckold is reundant, strictly speaking, as all cuckolds are husbands. However, in contemporary usage, cuckolding is also a BDSM feitsh in which one partner gets a masochistic thrill from the other partner's "non-monogamy." In this feitsh the "cuckold" need not be married, so the term "cuckold husband" is sometimes used to indicate the marital bond.
The opposite of a cuckold is a bull. In the world of cuckolding, a bull is a man who is invited to participate in sexual activities with a cuckold's partner. So, if you're looking to spice things up in the bedroom, maybe consider adding a bull to the mix. But hey, to each their own!
I believe it is Iago's quote, actually. But what is meant is that the cuckold is free from uncertainty regarding his wife's faithfulness because he knows that she is not - the implication being that suffering the uncertainty of wondering is more terrible than knowing the bad news. In this case, Shakespeare is using the term cuckold to mean someone who already has found out the sad truth, as a cuckold is always, by definition, deceived by his wife and unaware of her sexual escapades until it is too late.The quote can be compared to John Barth's: "Only the wittol knows he is no cuckold."
The female variant of cuckold is cuckquean. However, it should be noted that the connotations of cuckoldry are currently taken to two extremes. There are some men who abhor the idea of being made a cuckold whilst there are others who relish this experience. A man who is a willing cuckold is called a wittol, but the term cuckold is used in fetish circles. (The pleasure of being made a cuckold can either come from the sadomasochistic humiliation of being "forsaken" or from the opportunity to "share" the experience in the form of an open relationship.)
The husband of an unfaithful wive is a cuckold. When she is unfaithful you can say "he has been cuckolded.
