Ralph and Piggy want to appear smart when they see Jack because they want to assert their authority and importance in the group. They know that Jack values strength and power, so they believe looking smart will help them maintain their influence over the other boys. Additionally, they are trying to project confidence in front of Jack to show that they are not intimidated by him.

Roger killed Piggy because he was Jack's righthand man, and Jack immidately was challenged by Piggy and Ralph. Roger is trying to rid Jack of his insecurities so that he can take over, thus putting through the idea that he is a good, ordery leader. Which if you think about it, is a very stupid way to show that he is a good, ordery leader, but you know, they are kids. That doesnt make what he did any better, though.
