I'm pretty new to copying too, but I can tell you how to do the first part...creating the temp directory is a pretty basic windoze function....just get into windows explorer, click on the C: drive, and go File> new> folder...name the new folder "Temp" (unless of course you don't already have a Temp folder under the C: drive, which you might). Then click on the c:windows/temp folder and again go File> New> Folder...name this folder CD. When your copying your game onto the hard drive, you just select this folder as the destination folder (C:Temp/CD)...that setting should be in CloneCd somewhere.

As for replacing the executable file, I'm as lost as you... Good luck
