parse.com javascript app. How to update other user roles as Admin

I have seen that this can be done using cloud code. But I am not sure how to create a function in cloudcode and executing/Invoking it with parameters from Javascript. Is this possible?

It is possible. To make a user and admin, one must add that user to the admin role's users. Here's a cloud function to do that...

Parse.Cloud.define("setUserAdmin", function(request, response) {
    var user;
    var userQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.User);
    return userQuery.get(request.userId).then(function(result) {
        user = result;
        var roleQuery = new Parse.Query(Parse.Role);
        roleQuery.equalTo("name", "admin");
        // here's our defense against mischief: find the admin role
        // only if the requesting user is an admin
        roleQuery.equalTo("users", request.user);
        return roleQuery.first();
    }).then(function(role) {
        if (!role) {
            return Parse.Promise.error("only admins can add admins");
        }
        Parse.Cloud.useMasterKey();
        var relation = role.relation("users");
        relation.add(user);
        return role.save();
    }).then(function(result) {
        response.success(result);
    }, function(error) {
        response.error(error);
    });
});

Calling that from the JS sdk...

var params = { userId: someUserId };
return Parse.Cloud.run("setUserAdmin", params).then(function(result) {
    // handle success
}, function(error) {
    // handle error
});
