How can I set birthdays of friends who I didn't add to my contacts?
Certainly, you can always simply create birthdays as a yearly recurrent event. On the contrary, if you like to use all the birthday features of miCal, you simply have to assign it to a contact - because miCal's birthday calendar is automatically created from the iOS. All the other features of miCal rely afterwards on informations from your phone's contacts. Because contacts are easy to manage in iOS, that should be no big deal. Maybe you like to call or email some of the new contacts anyways one day?

- Choose in "end of repetition" either the number of your repetitions or the date of the last repitition if applicable

I can´t change/delete my events anymore.
The operating system might have put a write-protection to particular events. Please check if the write-protection is activated in the standard iPhone calendar. Maybe the iOS/your account sync doesn´t work properly. You may possibly have to reset it (please be careful because of data loss)
miCal does not display the colors from Outlook! Can I tag events as "private" or "business" and communicate this to the Exchange calendar?
Unfortunately, this is not possible due to technical reasons. The iPhone calendar can´t pass this data on while synchronizing.
