If you are an eligible non-citizen, you can file for the FAFSA. For example, are you considered a permanent resident? Then you can still file for the FAFSA. https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/eligibility/non-us-citizens

The Cal grant on the other hand is only for California residents. http://www.csac.ca.gov/CGM/calgrant_handbook.pdf

Here is some info about finances for international students at UCs http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/international/finances/index.html
"Most international students find it difficult to obtain financial assistance in the United States, particularly if no aid has been offered by an academic department or scholarship organization before arrival in the United States.

Also, it’s important to note that UC awards a very limited number of grants, loans and scholarships to international undergraduates. At some campuses, no assistance is available to international undergraduates."
