Is using a user fake agent illegal, when you are crawling a website? If so, what and how legal action can be taken against the faking requester? Is this law applies only for crawlers or a user impersonating a browser from a different browser(changing user-agent as firefox but making the request from chrome)?

It is not illegal here in the US.  would be wary of seeking legal advice on the internet, especially without giving a specific location. Laws change city to city as they do country to country. So declaring user fake agent illegal doesn’t make sense unless you state the specific state or city.
