In spite of knowing that it is expensive, I want to go there
2- You talk to me in spite of knowing that I wont believe you
" Sana inanmayacagimi bilmene ragmen benimle konusuyorsun"
3 - You still want to call her in spite of knowing that she wont answer to you
" (onun?) sana cevap vermeyecegini bilmene ragmen onu hala aramak istiyorsun "
4 - In spite of understanding that this is a hard question , I do not want to answer

I made some corrections. Please compare them with yours.
1- Pahali oldugunu bilmeme ragmen oraya gitmek istiyorum
In spite of knowing that it is expensive, I want to go there
2- You talk to me in spite of knowing that I wont believe you
" Sana inanmayacagimi bilmene ragmen benimle konusuyorsun"
3 - You still want to call her in spite of knowing that she wont answer to you
" sana cevap vermeyecegini bilmene ragmen onu hala aramak istiyorsun "
4 - In spite of understanding that this is a hard question , I do not want to answer
( I think, there is something wrong with this sentence.) Maybe the sentence should be in positive form as:
'In spite of understanding that this is a hard question , I do want to answer.'
Then Turkish meaning wil be as:
" Bu sorunun zor oldugunu anlamama ragmen ,cevap vermek istiyorum "
5 - In spite of knowing that turkish is hard I still want to learn it
"Turkçenin zor oldugunu bilmeme ragmen , onu hala ogrenmek istiyorum "

You are welcome.
Dilara,
If you link together two or more nouns to form a grammatical unit genitive case(e.g. adamın gözlüğü),it is called 'Belirtili İsim Tamlaması' in Turkish. For example,
okul-un bahçe-si/okulun bahçesi
soru-(n)un zorluk-u/ sorunun zorluğu
Now, your question with participles,
soru-(n)un olduk-u/ sorunun olduğu
soru-(n)un zor olduk-u/sorunun zor olduğu
'Sorunun zor olduğu'nu bilmeme rağmen, cevaplamak istedim.
Babam-ın gelmeyecek-i/babamın gelmeyeceği
'Babamın gemeyeceği'ni bilmeme rağmen, onu evde beklemeye devam ettim.
example with infinitive,
hava-(n)ın olma-sı/havanın olması
'Havanın soğuk olması'na rağmen, dışarı çıktım.
I hope, these explanations will be useful, Dilara.
