You mean you want "SELECT" to have a different meaning to "select" or "Select" ? What would the difference be exactly ?

The only place you can introduce case sensitivity is in table and column names. If you can be bothered to going to the trouble of surrounding all names with double quotation marks, you can have case sensitive names e.g.

create table "MyTable" ("MyColumn" varchar2(10),...)

However, you will have to put the double quotes round the name every time you want to use it from now on. If you just say

select * from MyTable

it will be converted to "MYTABLE" and won't work. You would have to do:

select * from "MyTable"

SQL> create table brisime (col varchar2(20));

Table created.

SQL> insert into brisime values ('Little Foot');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into brisime values ('LITTLE foot');

1 row created.

SQL> insert into brisime values ('little FOOT');

1 row created.

SQL> select * from brisime;

COL
--------------------
Little Foot
LITTLE foot
little FOOT

SQL> alter session set nls_comp = ANSI;

Session altered.

SQL> alter session set nls_sort = GENERIC_BASELETTER;

Session altered.

Yes, using the LOGON trigger.

Check this Ask Tom discussion; you'll also find some examples there.
