Play the tapes on your deck.  Feed the stereo output from your deck
(2xRCA) to your sound card line-in, probably a mini-jack but you may
have a good card which will take 2xRCA.

Record the sound using a wav recorder, probably a program which came
with the sound card.  Or you could use a better program such as Spin
Doctor (part of easy CD creator platinum)which has a hiss filter. 
Many media players are able to record from line-in eg. MusicMatch. 
Wav files are not compressed so you will need lots of disk space.  You
could save on disk space by capturing as mp3 but you will loose
quality and will need a fast processor.

Once the sound is recorded either convert directly to CD, or edit
first using a wav editor to remove unwanted bits. Convert to mp3 etc
if you wish.

The quality of the original recordings may not be too good.  Probably
better to buy the CD, or since you already plan to ignore copyright
there is always P2P.
