A new Cassette should be under £20 online. Probably more from the LBS. I wouldn't ride it with the shagged cassette and new chain, otherwise the chain will wear to the old cassette.
If it is a shimano cassette it is dead easy to replace, you'll need a chain whip and a locking tool. You could get away with just using your old chain and a vice too.
Where are you based maybe someone local could help. ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

Fiddle with the adjuster on the back of the derailleur where the cable enters. It could just be that the gear indexing isn't set up right and each click stop on the gear shifter doesn't match up with a cog on the cassette, it will try and skip between two cogs making a clattering sound as it does. Make sure you don't go too far so the chain skips over the top when you shift up into the largest cog as that can be very bad, especially at speed ____________________ Honda CB500s (1999) - Honda CG 125 BR-J (1991)

If you have a chain tool. Take the chain off and hold it in your hand, sideways on, at about waist height pointing paralell to the ground. If the other end of the chain is touching the ground, it is gubbed and you need a new one.
As has been said, a new casette is not expensive or difficult to do at the same time.
If you have a vernier calliper, measure the length of 10 links from pin to pin. Up to 255mm the chain is fine. Over 255mm and the chain needs replacing. Over 257mm and both the chain and casette need replacing. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.
