Add more memory to your server. If the value is below 95% consistently, I would recommend adding more memory as well. 80% is just too low of a threshold.

How much RAM do you have on your server? How big is your database?

Is it a dedicated SQL Server, meaning no other software is being used like IIS or other user applications?

The only way that you are going to get the cache hit ratio to go up is to tune your queries and/or add more RAM to the server. You might want to consider running SQL Profiler to trace the sql activity.
