Yeah, keep it healthy. Rats don't "spread diseases" unless they have, or at least carry, those diseases. You're no more likely to catch a disease from a healthy, parasite-free rat than you are from a dog or cat.
make a small home for your pet rat, like a cage and put toilet rolls, a ball, you can put LOADS of things in the cage to make your rat happy.
No, you can not catch an illness from any rat at the pet store. If the rat is sick it will not spread the disease to humans. But it is possible to get salmonella from a rat if you touch it and then touch your mouth. So always wash your hands after handling an animal.
You can get a pet rat from most pet stores.
