The little screws serve two purposes - the vertical ones adjust how high the string sits above the fingerboard at rest - known as the 'action', and the horizontal ones (in the same axis as the string) adjust the intonation - allowing the player to stay in tune all the way up the neck.

 

If a string is rattling too much when it's tuned properly then chances are it's bouncing on the metal frets and needs to be raised - the vertical screws will do this.

If you're new to bass it would definitely be worth getting someone more experienced to run you through how to set it up properly. There are plenty of online guides (this is Fender's) but if you're not sure what you're doing then seeing someone else do it and be able to ask questions will be invaluable. Hopefully you'll soon feel confident enough to do your own setups.
