What two things Casca see Caesar do while at the race?
Casca sees Caesar refuse a crown offered to him by Mark Antony three times. He also sees him have an epileptic fit.
What was Caesar's reaction to the offering to be king according to casca?
Mark Anthony offered Caesar a coronet (a little crown) three times. He was not actually offering Caesar the crown; Casca says it was "mere foolery." Three times, Caesar pushed the crown away. Every time he pushed the crown away, the people cheered because they were glad that Caesar did not want to be king; it proved that he was a man without ambition. However, Casca reports, it appeared to Casca that Caesar really wanted to take the crown. Caesar then offered the people his throat to cut (which was a very odd thing for him to do. Apparently, it was his way of saying, "Here I am to serve the people of Rome; I will give my very life for you, if you want.") Then, Caesar fell down in the market place, apparently suffering from an epiletic seizure. And all the women felt very sorry for him.
Why did Casca think Caesar refused the crown 3 times?
The Romans did not say anything about Casca's thoughts. Any thoughts of his come from fiction: from Shakespeare's play. In Shakespeare's play, Casca does not explicitly disclose what he thinks Caesar's motive was for refusing the crown, but his scornful description of the reaction of the crowd when he did so ("the rabblement shouted, and clapped their chopped hands, and threw up their sweaty night-caps, and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because Caesar refused the crown, that it had almost choked Caesar") it would appear that Casca was of the view (surely correct) that the whole process was to amplify Caesar's already popular status with the mob.

What did Caesar refuse and How many times?
In Shakespeare's play, Casca tells Brutus that Antony offered Caesar a crown (a coronet) because the people clamored that Caesar should be king. He says that Caesar refused it three times, each time less vigorously. Caesar, although desiring absolute power, spurns the classic role of "king" which the populace might see as a dominating or oppressive force, and cultivates a role as "friend of the people" in contrast to the aristocratic Senate.

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.
