Well first of all, making a CD is quite complicated if you have no idea how to do so.

You're saying you downloaded instrumentals and want to make a CD out of it. Do you own the copyrights of those songs or did you ask it's owner if you could use it?

If not then don't, chances are you can get sued.

If yes then there are alot of programs.

Anyways, if you have a mic, is it good? Does it records vocals correctly?

I would recommend you to try and buy a good mic, maybe even an Audio Interface that could help the recording. If you don't know anything about music recording/mixing, try to go in a studio and record some songs.

Other than that, if you just wanted to make a cd for fun, use your PC mic + audacity and good luck.

E/ If you want to make your own beats, try Fruity Loops. Although it costs some money, it's very very useful.
