Use a miter box or a miter saw.
First, some assumptions:
A) The moulding used has a 45 degree "spring" or slope.
B) the corner you are cutting, inside or outside is 90 degrees.
There are 2 ways to do this, depending on whether you have a simple mitre saw, or one with compound mitre/bevel capability.
1) Using a mitre saw ( no compound bevel capability):
Place the "top" (ceiling) edge of the moulding closest to you, on the saw bed.
Place the "bottom" edge on the fence of the saw.
Position the molding at a 45 degree slope between the bed and the fence.
The molding is now bridging the bed of the saw to the fence at 45 degrees.
Set the saw mitre to 45 degrees and cut the molding
Cut.
For the mating piece, reverse the blade miter and bevel, and cut with the material pointing from from the opposite side of the blade.
2) Using a compound mitre saw (compound miter & bevel capability):
Place the back of the moulding flat on the bed of the saw.
The "bottom" edge goes against the fence
The "top" (ceiling) edge is closest to you.
Set the saw miter to 35.3 degrees
Set the blade tilt (bevel) to 30 degrees.
Cut.
For the mating piece, reverse the blade miter and bevel, and cut with the material pointing from from the opposite side of the blade.
If the angle, or "spring" of the moulding is not 45 degrees ( 38 degree moulding is quite common, fro example), or: If the corner is not 90 degrees, then you will need a table to work with.

How can I add cave molding against the walls in my room?
Purchase a few long pieces of cover molding that stretches from one corner to other as per measurements of your room. Cut the molding for a splice connecting two pieces that converge in the center of a wall. First, you do the inside corners and then follow the same with outside corners. Adjust the saw at 45 degree angle and all the corer angles are in 45 degrees. And each cut is exactly the opposite of the cut you actually want to make. When you are working, fix the cove molding firmly in place and watch the angles. You will be done sooner than you can imagine!!
How do you cut miters for cap molding on wainscoting that has a lip for the molding to sit on top of the wainscoting?
Although it would be good to have wainscoting tool kit, you can also just cut a scrap of the paneling (about 2inches high by 12 inches long) and rest the cap molding on top. When you make the cut it will be perfect, since this is exactly how it will rest on the wall.

You can cut the wavy piece away and at Pep Boys there used to be black molding strips for a couple of bucks and you can trim to fit and does a good job. The wavy molding is attached to the window so the whole assembly would have to be changed to fix the molding if you want OEM.

What is the degree of the cut for installing crown molding on a cabinet. but 45 is not the answer?
Half the angle it is to be mounted to. Example- A 90 deg cabinet corner would require that each piece of molding is cut at 45 in order to butt up flush to each other. If a corner cap is used that cover 45 deg of the 90 deg corner, then each piece of molding would be cut to 22.5 deg in order to butt up flush to the cap.

Angles for inside corners with cove?
I have never understood why people always make this so difficult to look up, but it is a compound miter, set both angles 22.5 degrees, and you should have it under control. Test it on a scrap piece. Or get a crown molding jig, also note that not all cove is a 45 degree, so some will have to be adjusted
