To simplify this process, let’s use a function that a roles and assigns them all capabilities required manage (add,edit,publish,delete) our custom post type.

function add_custom_caps() {
    // gets the subscriber role
    $role = get_role( 'subscriber' );

    // This only works, because it accesses the class instance.
    // would allow the subscriber to edit others' posts for current theme only
     $role->add_cap( 'read' );
     $role->add_cap( 'read_post');
     $role->add_cap( 'read_private_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'edit_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'edit_published_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'publish_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'delete_others_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'delete_private_post' );
     $role->add_cap( 'delete_published_post' );
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_custom_caps');

This code is fairly straight forward. We have a the WP_Role object of the current role, then adds our new _post capabilities to said role using the WordPress add_cap() function. See the get_role() function on the codex to get a better understanding of what capabilities are available.
