I have some confused, why do the users can read the data in all nodes? I mean 
the data just be kept in the replica, how to achieve it?

The data will only be written to the nodes that are part of the
replica set fo the row (with the exception of hinted handoff, but
that's a different sstable).

If *all* nodes in the replica set for a particular row are down, then
you won't be able to read that row, no.
