How does Cassius plan to convince Brutus that he's more noble and loved than Caesar?

Well Cassius wants Brutus on his side, not only because Brutus was good friends with Caesar, but because Brutus is a very noble and loyal person that everyone wants on their side. Cassius is persuaded by another conspirator to trick Brutus into thinking that the citizens of Rome want Brutus to become king not Caesar. Cassius tricks Brutus by forging letters. The letters were said to be written by citizens telling Brutus that they envy him and do not want Caesar to become King, they would rather have him.

Why does Cassius believe that Brutus should be a part of the plot against Caesar?
Cassius wants Brutus to join in a conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar. He tells Brutus stories of Caesar to poison his mind and make Brutus believe that Caesar wants to set himself up as a tyrant.
Is the relationship between Brutus and Cassius based on convenience or actual friendship?
In the beginning of the play, Brutus is trusted by Caesar, and they have a filial sort of relationship. But Brutus plays a large role in Caesar's assassination. Caesar's dying words are, "Et tu, Brute?" (you too, Brutus?) because he can hardly believe that someone he loved and was close to would murder him. Brutus reasons, "Not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more." He thinks that killing Caesar was for the greater good, and if you've read the play, you would realize that Brutus's fatal flaw is his nobility. He overthinks everything, always searching for the noble, honorable, "right" thing to do. It was also mentioned that perhaps Brutus was truly Caesar's son, of an affair. At Brutus's funeral oration, Antony says Brutus was "Caesar's angel," although it is never blatantly explained why Caesar trusts and loves Brutus so much, then is betrayed. Although Brutus's honor to Caesar is strong in the beginning, it wavers enough for him to take part in Caesar's murder, but then he sees the effects because of it. By the end of the play, Brutus sees that Rome in the hands of Antony, Octavius, etc is worse than it would have been under Caesar's ruling, and Brutus commits suicide. Note that this question does not have anything to do with the question. The question entails the relationship between BRUTUS and CASSIUS, while this answer is telling the relationship between Brutus and Caeser.

Brutus was a man well-respected in Rome for his integrity and honour. His presence added credibility to the conspirators' cause. There was also the fact that his ancestor had in ancient times been one of the earliest tribunes, a staunch supporter of the liberty of the people and a fierce opponent of tyrants. Brutus's presence also gave their cause a kind of historical legitimacy.

What are the three points Cassius uses to manipulate Brutus?
Marc Antony begins his indictment of Julius Caesar assassins during the middle of the speech after praising Brutus the conspirator as an "honorable" and "noble man."

He closes indirectly asking "Rome," to "rise and mutiny," against the conspirators.
