If someone thinks they are always doing the right thing, and believes others are wrong, what would I call them?
Say, for example, I did something that person considers wrong. But then on another occasion, the same person does the same thing I did and believes they are right. So they feel like they’re an exception, but at the same time, others are wrong and can’t act like that.

self-righteous
confident of one’s own righteousness, esp. when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others.
Also from Wikipedia:
Self-righteousness (also called sanctimoniousness, sententiousness, and holier-than-thou attitudes) is a feeling or display of (usually smug) moral superiority derived from a sense that one’s beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person.
Self-righteous individuals are often intolerant of the opinions and behaviors of others.
Also pharisaical fits to your example:
Someone who is pharisaical preaches one thing and then does another — not a good trait for politicians or even playground pals.
Why use pharisaical when you could say hypocritical? In general, you would probably use the word in especially severe cases of hypocrisy, particularly when someone is not only a hypocrite, but acts superior and is being particularly annoying about it.

hubris:
from vocabulary.com:
Hubris is an excess of confidence: a boxer who shouts «I’m the greatest!» even though he’s about to get pummeled by a much stronger opponent is displaying a lot of hubris.
Hubris is from Greek, where it meant «excessive pride, violating the bounds set for humans» and was always punished by the gods. We no longer have the Greek gods, so in English it just refers to over-the-top self-confidence. If you call yourself the best in something, you better have the goods to back it up, since too much hubris can lead to embarrassment and humiliation. It’s an age-old human failing: pride goeth before the fall.
from Merriam-Webster.com:
noun ˈhyü-brəs
: a great or foolish amount of pride or confidence
Examples of HUBRIS
His failure was brought on by his hubris.

When the talk is about the knowledge the closest term will be:
- know-all | know-it-all (noun
Britishinformal) – a person who acts as though he or she knows everything and who dismisses the opinions, comments, or suggestions of others.
noun:know-all; plural noun:know-alls; noun:knowall; plural noun:knowalls
The closest informal synonyms would be:
smart aleck– noun, a person making wise remarks;wiseacre— noun, one who claims full knowledge;braggart– noun, a person who talks boastingly;
or even synonyms which describe even more negative attitude alike:
smart-arse|smart-ass— noun, a person who is irritating because they behave as if they know everything;smarty-pants– noun, someone who wants to appear to be clever.
You may also consider the adjective arrogant, but the meaning would be a bit different – «a person having exaggerated self-opinion».
