You can pick them up. But I would just leave them alone.

Do not pick any of them up or bother to try to pet/touch them. Chances are, the mother will get angry and fight.

Technically, no. They must first be weaned which takes about 6 weeks to do. Once they are weaned, you can take them away from their mother but you will need to put it on a newborn kitten milk formula, which you can get from your local pet store. You can also find out more at a pet store and they will show you what to do. The first answer on here is sort of wrong. You can touch the kittens, the mother won't reject them if you do. But I would advise that you should not touch or hold the kittens until the mother has kind of wound down with them.
