How can we indicate/add lowercase letters without changing these five binary values?

As can be seen from attached picture, if you leave the lowest five bits the same, but set the 6th bit, the ASCII value of a character changes from uppercase to lowercase. The mapping of characters to ASCII numbers was carefully chosen to enable this.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but it seems the most plausible interpretation...
