The Solr that's bundled with ColdFusion 10 is version 3.4. The farcrysolrpro plugin requires Solr version 3.5 or later.
I recently performed a couple of deployments of Solr 3.5 and the farcrysolrpro plugin on 64-bit Windows. There are multiple ways of doing this; I chose a combination of Jetty and the Non-Sucking Service Manager < http://nssm.cc/>. Documenting this process is on my TODO list, but you should be able to get the gist from these instructions: < http://beckelman.net/2011/02/22/setup-apache-solr-on-windows-with-jetty-running-as-a-service-via-nssm>. The bugs in those instructions are left as an exercise for the reader ;) As for your second question, the Solr bundled with ColdFusion 10 is simply a WAR file that runs under its own Jetty server (ColdFusion10\cfusion\jetty\webapps\solr.war). I haven't tried it, but it should be possible to replace the WAR file with one from a newer version of Solr and delete the contents of ColdFusion10\cfusion\jetty\work. If you try this, remember to stop the Jetty service first! The ColdFusion 10 bundled Solr Jetty server runs on a non-default port (8985 instead of 8983) but for some reason I still got conflicts when running my own Solr Jetty server alongside it. Once I shut down the ColdFusion 10 Jetty Service the problems disappeared. It may be possible to get two Solr servers both working side-by-side, but that seems wasteful to me: if you need ColdFusion 10's Solr integration, you should probably configure it to use the port number of the Solr server you are using for farcrysolrpro.
