CDDB determines the identity of a CD by running the track numbers and times
through a hashing algorithm. If you borrow a copy of the real CD from someone
and get a list of the track times (or find some other way of getting the
numbers from CDDB) then you could burn your new CD with the same numbers.

Of course if you had a copy of the real CD then you could just burn that,
saving you the trouble, so perhaps it's not worth it.
