One can only become a Daedra through the process of mantling, the process the Champion of Cyrodiil took when he became Sheogorath.

One cannot become a daedra through any other means, since Daedra are defined as the spirits who did not give themselves to the creation of Munuds, since that creation is over, any powerful beings that reside in Oblivion made after that cannot choose to not give themselves to creation, they can only simply be, and are just et'ada.

Malacath, for example, isn't a deadra, he is just a poiwerful spirit who lives in Oblivion.
