The default is to cache.
You can alter what it caches and how by altering the settings.
Please read the FAQ if you want to go and do that
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq

defaults vary depending on the version of Squid.
Older Squid have 32 MB RAM for memory-cache + more for indexes and live
transactions. With 100MB of disk cache by default.

Newer Squid-3 have 256 MB RAM cache + plus extras, and no disk cache.

Please see the configuring section of the FAQ. Or if you have specific
questions not answered there please ask again.
