Well, you will likely either have to solder it to a small test board with a breakout pattern, or use something like this:

where you can then easily wire up power, ground and the JTAG signals you require.

QuartusII 13.0sp1 is still available for programming this device, but I don't believe it is capable of reading back programmed device images.

You would likely need to use a third party device programmer to do image readback.
