They are semi permanently attached. Most cassettes have 5 or 6 cogs riveted together or mounted on a spider, with a few loose ones.
Don't force it ;-)
Tooth brush works great to clean them. Just don't use to clean your teath afterwards...

the other way is to use a rag between the cogs while fitted on the rear wheel0

As above.
There's no need to lube the cassette, it just attracts dirt.0 -
Cleaning cassettes is no fun. If you must, just throw it in some paraffin and give it a shake- it'll be cleaner in 5 seconds than it will be after an hour with brushes, cloths etc.Uncompromising extremist0

Many cassettes have a small allen or torx headed bolt holing them together (seen at the large gear end), undo that and it would come to bits, gears and spacers, had to do it to use a 8 of 9 speed's on my daughters '7 speed' wheel on her commuter.
