Unless your game is modded, you cannot (AFAIK) recruit Foot Knights. They only come via Crusade. Sorry!
Regarding dismounting ERK, I dunno. They're much prettier running about on their horsies anyways...

Buy a few Dhruzina Cav as mercs - they dismount to feudal foot.....and while slow it can be fun to watch how they mice other foot units.

You have to mod the game to train Feudal Foot Knights. Either mod them as always dismountable or mod the FFK units to be trainable. The only other way to deploy them is in a siege by dismounting your FKs or ERKs (the same thing) before deployment. They cannot be dismounted at any other time. Feudal Foot Knights are pretty much the best catholic faction infantry during the early period.

If you want it simple, get the XL mod, there you´re able to recruit foot knights and to dismount basically every cavalry unit at any time.
And if you don´t want to mess with your game, bamffs advice is the last posibility.
That only goes for Hospitaller Foot Knights, and even they can only be got by dismounting Hospitaller Knights and I´m not sure if dismounting for them only works in sieges, too.Unless your game is modded, you cannot (AFAIK) recruit Foot Knights. They only come via Crusade. Sorry!

Order foot knights, too. I thought he was referring to only recruiting foot knights, not dismounting cav. :D

The cavalry you mention, knights, can only dismount in special situations, such as a siege. This is the case with the largest part of the cavalry, especially if they are there to deliver a blow to the enemy in a charge. I do believe, however, that horse archers (and Lithuanian Cav) can dismount in any situation, but if I'm wrong please correct me.

Much of the later heavy cav (ie gothic knights) can dismount in any battle, IIRC. I never have dismounted any cav, but it can be done. Frogbeastegg's wonderful guide tells which may and which may not, but off of the top o' me head I can't recall what is what exactly.

Re: Noobish Question but Why can't Fuedal Knights and Early Royal Knights Dismount?
It's very easy to mod that. There's a column (nr 69 in CRUSADERS_UNIT_PROD11.txt, almost last in the unit row(s)) for dismounting in open battle, all you need to change is nothing into yes.
Make a backup copy and preferbly use GnomeEditor or make sure that you got correct tabing.
To get them buildable you'll need to add building requirements for them. My feudal foot knights got "{SWORDSMITH2, ARMOURER2, ROYAL_COURT2}" for example.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

FK and early RK can't be dismounted you're playing a siege (or modded the game). But, as bamff said, it's best to hire merc Druzhina cav, who can dismount in both regular and siege battles, and get 60men until of Feudal Foot knights.
