You don't actually become an "aristocrat" unless you are from a blood-blue family. Aristocracy is inherited (born into) rather than something you could become even if you were rich. Most aristocrat families are a group of very powerful and wealthy people, and are usually descendants from the royal bloodline. If you are a commoner and so were your family members, the only possible way of becoming an "aristocrat" is to marry someone who was from that social standing.
Even if you were granted a title of knighthood by a monarch, your still not an "aristocrat." A knight is a non-heritable form of gentility, but is not nobility.

How To Be An Aristocrat

As others have said, you're born into it. With enough money you could assume the trappings of aristocracy - a seat in the country, land, even a coat of arms can be bought and a peerage title can be earned, but nobody would seriously say that the hundreds of life peers created in the past decade are aristocrats.
You could also marry an aristocrat and assume some of his or her status by proxy. If one marries a titled man, she gets a title.

You don't become an aristocrat, you are born as an aristocrat...You can assume aristocratic behavior if you try very hard and if you are intelligent, but I suppose aristocracy is somehow related to royalties, nobles and their descendants which automatically become aristocrats because their parents are !

You're born to it. You can marry and aristocrat, but you won't really be one. Your children can be, but not you.
Oh, an aristocratic families have varied backgrounds. Some were truly noble and earned their wealth and position for service to their king and country. Others have more dubious backgrounds, like the royal family of Monaco (I believe they came from pirates), who have re-invented themselves over the centuries.

One can assume Aristocratic behavior. True class cannot be bought or born into, but money and hereditary upper class connections help. Learn etiquette and proper speech, a foreign language or two and vacation in Monaco.
