"Because" can ONLY be used as a conjunction and it follows the structure of: result "because" reason.
eg. I ate some food 'because' I was hungry. (Result = I ate some food, Reason = I was hungry)
"So" has 3 different uses:
1. It is used as a conjunction like "because" but in the opposite order: reason "so" result.
eg. I was hungry 'so' I ate some bread.
2. It can be used as an adverb to indicate extent, a bit like the word "very".
eg. I was 'so' hungry. (I was very hungry)
3. Finally, "so" can also be used to mean "the truth".
eg. Is that 'so'? (Is that the truth?)
So remember, "because" only 1 usage while "so" has 3 different ones! Hope that cleared things up.

With because, what comes first gets explained by what comes after:
I was didn't eat breakfast because I woke up late.
With so, the fist part explains the second:
I woke up late so I didn't eat breakfast.
There's usually more emphasis on the first part of the sentence, so which you choose is a matter of if you want them to know what happened or why something happened.

Because is usually used when something the following thing caused the thing before the word "because". "so" is the opposite.
I fought someone, because he was being rude.
I fought someone, so I went to jail.
