Use the mount command:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro,exec,unhide  whatever.iso /path/mountpoint

Or add to your /etc/fstab (mounts everytime you reboot):

/path/whatever.iso   /path/mountpoint   iso9660   loop,ro,exec,unhide

Copy the ISO with K3B or with:

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/path/whatever.iso

Replace /dev/cdrom with the proper device in the command above, if needed.
