This question is very broad. Unfortunately this means I will have to give a suitably broad answer in return.
There are many species of fresh water turtles, or terrapins, and they eat a wide variety of foods in their respective habitats. Some are herbivores, some omnivores and others are carnivores.
As for raising them, you'll need to do the necessary background research before you try.
Many turtles need a lot of space to live comfortably without getting sick and unfortunately some of the most easily acquired turtles in the category (red eared sliders) are not particularly beginner friendly due to huge space requirements.
Almost every turtle will need a UVA and UVB bulb to promote good health. Not providing it will be a very cruel thing on your part.
