copying existing case information to new case through apex class

I have a button that needs to take certain fields from an existing case, create a new case with a different record type and those certain fields .  I also want a pop-up to require 5 fields to be re-filled in with different information.  I have this half way working, but I don't quite know how to make the existing case information be put into the new case.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Class
public class CW_recurringIncident
{
public Boolean isDisplayPopUp {get; set;}
public CW_recurringIncident(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
{
isDisplayPopUp = true;
{Case c = (Case) controller.getRecord(); c.Status = 'New'; c.RecordTypeId = '012e00000004RxS';}

}
}

Page
<apex:page standardController="Case" extensions="CW_recurringIncident">
<apex:form id="frm">
<apex:detail subject="{!Case.Id}" relatedList="false" title="false"/>
<apex:outputPanel id="tstpopup" rendered="{!IF(isDisplayPopUp ==true,true,false)}" >
<apex:outputPanel styleClass="popupBackground" layout="block" />
<apex:outputPanel styleClass="custPopup" layout="block">
<apex:pageMessages >
</apex:pageMessages>
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockSection >
<apex:inputField label="Incident First Response" value="{!Case.Incident_First_Response__c}"  required="true"/>
<apex:inputField label="Incident Start" value="{!Case.Incident_Start__c}" onclick="" required="true"/>
<apex:inputField label="Service Restored" value="{!Case.Incident_Resolved__c}" onclick="" required="true"/>
<apex:inputField label="Defect Type" value="{!Case.Defect_Type_Multi__c}" required="true"/>
<apex:inputField label="Service Restoration Description" value="{!Case.Service_Restoration__c}" onclick="" required="true"/>

<apex:outputPanel >
<apex:CommandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>
<apex:CommandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:outputPanel>
</apex:outputPanel>





</apex:form>



<style type="text/css"> .errorMsg{ width:159px; }
.custPopup{ background-color: white; border-width: 3px;
border-style: solid;
z-index: 9999;
left: 25%;
padding:10px;
position: absolute;
width: 1000px;
//margin-left: -80px; top:100px; margin-left: -170px;
//top:305px;
border-radius: 5px;
}

.datePicker{z-index:10000}



.popupBackground{ background-color:black; opacity: 0.20; filter: alpha(opacity = 20);
position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;
z-index: 997 } a.actionlink:hover{ text-decoration:underline; }
.customactionLink { color: #015BA7; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } </style>

<script>
      function setFocusOnLoad() { }
</script>
</apex:page>

Try below code, for those 5 fields if you want to show the information from the existing case, you need to 
get the value from the url like -: 
System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('00N90000002uuWB'); //  00N90000002uuWB >>  ID of the inputfield
 
then use that in standardcontroller Case c -: 

public class CW_recurringIncident
{
public Boolean isDisplayPopUp {get; set;}
public string param;
public CW_recurringIncident(ApexPages.StandardController controller)
{

{
if(System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('00N90000002uuWB') <> null ){

param = System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('00N90000002uuWB');

}


Case c = (Case) controller.getRecord(); c.Status = 'New'; c.RecordTypeId = '01290000000NeEm'; c.EngineeringReqNumber__c=param ;}
isDisplayPopUp = true;
}
}

Its working for me. Let me know if you get any issues.

In your Button URL, you can pass the info from existing case to the new case.

If my New Case button opens up a VF page. In the url of my button i will pass the info like 

/apex/VFPAGE?acc2={!Account.name} (Grabbing the InputElement Id from the pagesource (inspect element)) acc2 is account name field. 

This will open a new account VF page with Name as previous account name 

SO whatever info you want to pass into other fields , get the inputid and pass that in the url.

Let me know if you get any issues.

Thanks Abhi, That kinda worked.  The pop-up still needs to show up.  How can I add that in?  here's the new URL button:

/apex/CW_Recurring_Incident?retURL={!Case.Id}&RecordType=012e00000004RxSAAU&00N30000006aSCK={!Case.Product__c}&00N30000006aSCE={!Case.Application__c}&00N30000006aSCF={!Case.Component__c}&00N30000006aSCN={!Case.Subsystem__c}&00Na0000009yTvW={!Case.Additional_email_1__c}&00Na0000009yTvX={!Case.Additional_email_2__c}&00Na0000009zDPm={!Case.Impact__c}&00Na0000009zDPp={!Case.Urgency__c}&cas6={!Case.Reason}&cas14={!Case.Subject}&cas3={!Case.Contact}&00Na0000009zDPj={!Case.CW_Type__c}&cas15={!Case.Description}&cas4={!Case.Account}&cas28={!Case.CaseNumber}&00N30000006aSCH={!Case.Implementation__c}&00N30000007Pq9o={!Case.Machine_ID__c}&00Ne0000000illW={!Case.Machine_Model__c}

Abhi, thank you! that works great!  One question, how do I declare standard fields like Account and Contact Name from the cases object?  If I add it like the others here it tells me illegal assignment of string to sobject
