How to copy data from one table to another new table in MySQL?

You can easily get data from another table. You have to add fields only you want.

The mysql query is:

INSERT INTO table_name1(fields you want)
  SELECT fields you want FROM table_name2

where, the values are copied from table2 to table1

If you don't want to list the fields, and the structure of the tables is the same, you can do:

INSERT INTO `table2` SELECT * FROM `table1`;

or if you want to create a new table with the same structure:

CREATE TABLE new_tbl [AS] SELECT * FROM orig_tbl;

Reference for insert select; Reference for create table select

CREATE TABLE newTable LIKE oldTable;

Then, to copy the data over

INSERT INTO newTable SELECT * FROM oldTable;

This will do what you want:

INSERT INTO table2 (st_id,uid,changed,status,assign_status)
SELECT st_id,from_uid,now(),'Pending','Assigned'
FROM table1

If you want to include all rows from table1. Otherwise you can add a WHERE statement to the end if you want to add only a subset of table1.
