Would be nice if you would fill in your About me page in your profile. If people know you better, they will help you more, I guess ...

Anyway, what you are looking for is the Seperator object. With the Seperator you can make copies of an item.
The command to set the itemype is setitemtype();
Use a trigger to set the itemtype after you created the item copies.

You could also do your task without the Seperator in a trigger.
The commands you are looking for are:
createcopy()
transfernode() / moveobject()

There is also two videos from Brandon in the download section which might be helpful for you:

There are also models using this functionality.

I also suggest that you use the search functionality of the forum before you ask lots of questions, because I am pretty sure there are some posts about your question.
If I search for "make item copy" I find this thread:

It is not directly, what you are asking, but give you some hints, right?
