I've just started using Canon's Digital Photo Professional software to see what its about, and I have a question. When I convert my RAW files and save them, I have an option to change the DPI from anywhere between 1 and 60,000. What should I set the value to? What difference does it make? Thanks!

Should make no difference unless you specify a print size as well. A 6 x 4" print at 100 DPI would be 600 x 400 pixels - not very good.
