You can grab the student edition from Microchip's website, otherwise you would have to buy it from them. I'm not sure if the FIRST one is limited - I've always programmed my PIC's in assembly except for FIRST stuff.

I'm pretty sure the 18F8520 is only avilable in surface mount form, but the 18F4620 is avilable in 40-pin DIP package, and includes twice the RAM as the 8520 as well (which seems to be a complaint about the RC).
