You can castle when ALL of the following conditions are met:
* You haven't moved your king yet.
* You haven't moved the rook that you want to castle with yet.
* There are no pieces between your king and that rook.
* You're not in check
* The opponent doesn't cover the square that your king has to pass, or the square where you king ends up.

Conditions of castling:--
1. The involved rook and the king must stay unmoved right from the start of the game.
2. There should not be any pieces between the king and the rook involved in the move.

When the chess pieces between your king and rook are no longer in their original positions and you have not previously moved your king or rook before castling.

That is when there is/are no piece(s) between you king and your rook. And the enemy can not attack that passage-way between the two pieces.
Castling is usually done for more protection of your King.
