1. Caste is determined at birth. It can't be changed.
2. An orphaned child , acquires the caste of people who adopt it.
3. A woman can acquire the higher caste of her husband.
4. A Hindu can't acquire a higher caste by knowing the rituals of that caste. The rituals of higher caste are so simple that any one can learn them in a few days and thus are not that important. What is actually important is the Varna associated with the higher caste.
5. There is a misconception that a Hindu, though good deeds, can acquire a higher caste in the next life.
This misconception is due to the wrong interpretation of 'reincarnation', which actually means 'transformation of an activity every time it is repeated'.
5. Since caste can't be changed, a Hindu can acquire a Higher Varna eternally. This would make him acceptable to people of Higher castes.

How does the caste system treat them?
The caste system was abolished for a reason. Of course, the higher castes, the Brahmin, were treated well, but the serfs, laborers, and "Untouchables" (people who did the dirty jobs) were treated horribly. The only way you could change castes was by marriage or, actually, death. The people believed in reincarnation and thought that if you lived your life well, you could be reincarnated into a higher caste. Hope this helps!
