It growls and hisses whenever I go near it, and it tries to bite and scratch me. Its nice to me when it wants food though, when it wants food it purrs and lets me stroke it but as soon as its got its food it goes angry and mean again. how do I make it like me?

Animals are like people. They have their likes and dislikes in who they have to interact with. Your cat may just not like you. Just like some people in your world just may not like you. It happens. You can not make him like you just like you can not make a person like you if they are so inclined to dislike you.
Another thought, there may be an odor that your body gives off (chemical odor) that your cat reacts too. If you are on any kind of medication, you could be giving off an odor he can smell but you can not. It could even be perfume, deodorant or the soap you use that is triggering his bad behavior.

Julie and Millie are so right.
Cats are such independent beings that you can't make them do anything, including returning affection.
One thing my cat absolutely loved was being brushed, so maybe you can slowly introduce your feline to spending time with you this way.
You didn't mention if it's male or female or the kitty's name but I wish you all the luck in the world forming a bond because it's so worth it. :)
