Usually, doubled pawns happen after a capture and only a pawn can recapture. You should usually try to re-capture with a piece in order to avoid doubling your pawns.
Generally, you should not be in rush to attack such weaknesses since doubled pawns are a "structural" weaknesses which will usually last for most of game. If you're patient, you can attack the weak pawns once all your pieces are developed.
Doubling your opponent's pawns also increases your chances of gaining a passed pawn.
