Anna and castiel are kind of rouge angels. They aren't fallen in the sense that Lucifer has fallen, but they aren't on the side of the angels, either.
They both served heaven, and Anna tore out her grace and fell so that she could become human to see what it's like. During last season, the demons wanted to grab her for intel, and the angels wanted to kill her so the demons couldn't get to her. The boys helped her to retrieve her grace to become an angel again.
castiel was assigned to help dean. he first retrieved him from hell. But in the course of helping Dean, he lost a lot of his impartiality. At the end of last season, when the boys came down in the middle (not on the side of the angels, but not on the side of the demons) castiel sided with them. So he's fallen in the sense that he's not on heaven's side presently (which is not the same as not being on god's side, apparantly. God is missing and Castiel was looking for him as far as ep 2, which was the last one I've seen)
