To copy files as part of the build process, you can use the cmake binary 
'copy' command, e.g.:

execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy ${src} ${dest})

To install files, use the install() directive with FILES, e.g.:

install(FILES ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/README DESTINATION ${YOUR_INSTALL_DIR})
