Make backup of original XP OEM CD's
I had purchased original XP OEM CD's with some desktops couple of years back. I have both XP-Pro and XP-Home. Can I make a backup of these incase the original disk is damaged. Best would be if I can make an ISO and could it able to burn it back when needed. Is this possible.

Yes, you can make backup copies of your original CD's for your own personal use.

Most CD burning software will be able to make a copy of a CD.

A quick way would be to use Alcohol 120 or Ultra ISO as you may need it to bypass the encryption on the disk in a sense. But like stanley said almost any burning program nowadays will allow you to do this.
