When Lily and James Potter decided to go into hiding using the Fidelius Charm, they were going to use Sirius, James' best friend, as the Secret Keeper, but at the last moment changed to Peter Pettigrew after Sirius suggested that Voldemort would never guess that Peter was the Secret Keeper. Peter, who was secretly a Death Eater, then betrayed the Potters. So the Potters' Secret Keeper was Peter Pettigrew.

Why didn't Lily or James become their own Secret Keeper?

Lily and James Potter went into hiding with their young son Harry because Albus Dumbledore told them to. Lord Voldemort heard a prophecy (from Sybill Trelawney, but heard his man Severus Snape) that named Harry Potter as Voldemort's equal enemy. Although Dumbledore didn't tell Lily and James, Voldemort wanted to kill Harry. Dumbledore put a Fidelius Charm (that will hide a house from anybody who seeks it unless the Secret Keeper [one person entrusted with the secret of the charm] confides it) on the Potter house in Godrics Hollow, but the Secret Keeper Peter Pettigrew, the traitor, told Voldemort of Lily and James's whereabouts. You know how the story goes from here :) Hope this helped.
