My homepage is cached every 2 weeks approximately. My subpages are cached about every month or so, is there a way to tell google to crawl them more often and cache them more often.

Is there a reason why you want them to be cached more often ?
Have you checked how often your site is actually crawled ?
If the changes to the pages are insignificant, google may choose not to update the external cached version.

Crawling is often more frequent than caching, and crawl frequency is very much tied to the quantity and quality of backlinks, as well as how deep in a site's click structure the URL is. In other words, it's about REAL PageRank.

Crawling will always (not just often ) be more frequent than caching, particularly to that which is observable.
Others may consider that actual qualitive changes to any page can be equally or more tied in to rate of crawling?

How can I check how often my pages are crawled ? and is there any way to increase the crawl rate ?
The reason I want it crawled is because I made some changes and would like to see if my ranking is going to get better.

You can check the crawl rate of the site (as a whole) in the Webmaster Console under Diagnostics and can increase/decrease the crawl rate through Settings tab in Site Configuration. However, pre-set crawl rate is recommended by Google.
