The functor of continuous functions from compact CW-spaces to the reals

The contravariant functor $C(-)$ given by $$ \hom_{Top}(-,\mathbb{R}):cCW\to Rng $$ where $cCW$ is the category of compact CW complexes is injective on objects. What is known about surjectivity, faithfulness and fullness of this functor?
