why are the pipes knocking when the water is turned on? What can be done to fix it? Can it be done by myself? I believe the pipes are copper.

Check for a loose washer on the bottom of the stem, a loose washer can vibrate and make pipes knock, shut the water off to the house before you take the stems out.
