Buy some grease. Get into the pedal and put a lot of grease on the bearings. Put it back together. There's a little bit of a learning curve on 'how tight is too tight,' but if you go 'hey, that's too tight,' just back it off a bit.
Fai Mao is correct, though - clicking usually indicates looseness. Squeeking is a sign of no lubrication. Do both -tighten up the pedals and grease them. You might make sure the cranks are on tight, too. Greasing the pedals usually takes a small socket wrench, and maybe a screwdriver to pop off a dustcap. Tightening them takes either a pedal wrench or a hex wrench, depending on the design. Tightening the cranks might take a socket (14mm?) or a hex wrench (large), again, depending on the design.
