Arpi is correct, it's actually called a Kippah the word yarmulke loosely means "skull cap" in yiddish.
Jews cover their heads with the kippah during prayer, eating and studying as a sign of respect toward God, who is above you. Religious Jews will wear it all the time. Covering the head is more of a custom than a commandment. The hassids wear it all the time. It depends, some wear it during parayer, eating and studying others just wear it all the time for love of God. Other jews like myself who have a looser belief in the religion do not wear it. I wore it once for my barmitzvah, that was about it.
Orthodox women cover their heads some with a yarmulke as a sign of modesty, since a woman's hair is considered tempting and seductive. Most wear coverings instead of a yarmulke tho.
