I looked at your profile page and I saw that neither English nor Spanish are your mother tongue. It would help a lot to know what your first language is so that we could write better replies to your questions. Please consider adding your home country and some notes about yourself to your profile page so we can share with you in a better way.

The Spanish words you asked about are not the same and are not substitutes for each other. Here are the meanings:
Porque = because
Ya que = either 'since', or 'as'

Sometimes it may seem possible to use either one of them interchageably but most of the time this will not work.
