How do Jewish people keep the kippah on their heads?
Who says the Kippot don't fall off heads? Of course they do. But really, it all depends on the size of the Kippa and how it sits on the head. Smaller kippot can easily fall off or be blown off in the wind. Larger Kippot generally stay on the head much better and will not ordinarily fall off. Many usually use hair clips to clip the kippa to the hair. This usually prevents the kippa from falling off easily. But of course, if you don't have much hair, then that won't work. It's best just to get a bigger kippa in that case.

Why do jews wear a kippah and tefilin?
Kippah:
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.
Tefillin:
Tefillin are worn during the morning prayers, in keeping with the command in Deuteronomy ch.6.

Answer 1
The custom of wearing a kippah, or yarmulke, is very old, and its origins are lost to time, but today it is generally associated with the idea of reminding the wearer of God's eternal presence, and/or creating a slight separation between the wearer and God.
Answer 2
Why would someone dress formally in the presence of a king or queen. Look at pictures of the ceremonies at Buckingham Palace when the Queen is giving people honors: most people have top hats, formal suits etc.
Jews believe that God is all around us. As a matter of honor, and to demonstrate that He is there, we wear a hat or a yarmulka/kappel/kippa (whatever the local terminology may be) to represent this fact.
Answer 3
It has become a custom in Judaism for men to wear a yarmulke. However it is a fairly recent custom, being only about 400 years old. The purpose is to remind the man that he is a servant of God. A secondary purpose is to identify him as a Jew. Just as the Muslim observes certain customs that are not commanded by the Koran, so the Jew observes certain customs that are not specifically commanded by the Judaic Scriptures. Unless it is specifically forbidden, a custom that honors God is permitted and this is one of them.
Answer 4
Answer 3, stating that the yarmulke is a recent custom, isn't actually true. The yarmulke is mentioned emphatically in the Talmud, 1800 years ago (Kallah 1:16).
The only stated purpose (Talmud, Shabbat 156b) is to add awareness of God (not to "serve as a separation" as said in answer 1).
The correct spelling is yarmulke, also called kippahs, and they are worn as a sort of reminder of god, who is a higher being "above us". In other words they are a "means to draw out one's inner sense of respect for god".
