Puppies can begin feeding and drinking water on their own once they are weaned from the mother (when they no longer suckle milk from her teats). They should be fed commercial dog food that is made expressly for puppies until they are at least six months of age, and then gradually introduced to adult dog food by mixing a bit of each for about two weeks before switching over entirely to the adult food.
