For two reasons. Towards the end of his life Caesar became arrogant and impatient with the system of doing things in Rome. He probably thought that as dictator with unlimited powers, he could push through his acts and reforms quickly. He also wanted it because it was the closest thing to a king that Rome was allowed to have.
Julius Caesar never gave himself a single title. He went through the Cursus Honorum, to be elected to his various positions and the titles that came with them. All the other honors such as Dictator for Life, were voted to him by the senate.
In my opinion it was because he had just been made Dictator for Life.
Gaul, called Transalpine Gaul, in other words what is now France was conquered by Julius Caesar. But Caesar did not "reign"; he was not a king or an emperor, and he only became dictator for life after he had conquered Gaul. During the time he was dictator, no territories were added to Rome's empire.
He declared himself dictator (normally 6 month tenure) for life. His opponents solved this problem by terminating his life.
Julius Caesar was a Roman politician, military leader, and in some ways a reformer. He was the only man grated the title Dictator for Life.
