If you download directly from Microsoft or another e-retailer, they'll have directions for installing XP on your machine. If you are downloading from a torrent or warez site, no one here can help because warez is against forum policy.
Assuming it's a legal copy of XP SP2 and it's in ISO format, then all you'll need is a program which can burn an ISO to CD. In Windows you can use something like Nero or Ashampoo. For OS X there's Roxio Toast.

Microsoft has full isos of Windows XP available for download. Remember, you pay for the license to use the software legally and not for the files or media it's actually on.

That's not a Windows XP iso. It's a service pack update.
You can, however, download full operating system isos
if you have a technet plus subscription.
Server 2008 is available for download by anyone:

True enough. I just did a quick 3 second search for XP isos on MS's page. I know that in the past you could download XP isos from them.
