Are you talking about a cache on the server side, or a cache in your browser? There's no way for the server side to (reliably) control what your browser caches. If you suspect it needs to be refreshed you can press "Refresh" on most browsers and that will refresh the page (though I don't offhand know how you refresh on the default Android browser).
