What is casca's reaction to Caesar's refusal?

Casca tells Brutus and Cassius about the show at the Lupercal, where Mark Antony offered a crown to Caesar three times. Each time Caesar pushed it aside as if to refuse the honour of being king, but to Casca it seemed that each time he did so, he did so a little more reluctantly. Casca was almost certainly wrong about that. This whole episode was a piece of political theatre, designed to fool the masses into thinking that Caesar did not want the powers of a king when in fact he had already assumed the powers of supreme dictator for life. Caesar knew, and Shakespeare knew, that the masses will go for the superficial and showy and cannot be bothered to examine the more complicated reality that underlies it. Thus Caesar will refuse a crown, the superficial symbol of kingship (the masses go "yay!") but accept greater power than any king ever had (the masses go "huh?"). Casca doesn't get this; he thinks that this is a spontaneous gesture by Antony to which Caesar will spontaneously react. This does not sound like the kind of thing Antony or Caesar would do. They'd have it planned out. Casca knows about Caesar's ambition, and reads that into what he saw.

How does Shakespeare present the character of Brutus in a different part of the story?

Different from what? Brutus's character is portrayed in Julius Caesar in very much the same way throughout. He was a man of great integrity, a thinker, a stoic, a patriot. None of this changes throughout the play, although the circumstances which he tries and fails to react to successfully do change.
