I have a drill press which is 220 watts. I'd like to knurl some

Can't see why not...

, and how should I secure the bottom end so it is centred?

Small flat bit of wood with a couple of bearings screwed to it. You can
offer that up to the side of the copper, and clamp it to the table.

Basically, can anyone tell me how I can make this work. I don't have
room for a lathe.

Copper is fairly soft, so you will likely be able to knurl with a hand
knurling tool. The two wheel type will be easiest since you can then
push against the direction supported by the bearings.
