I don't know about an extension cord, but they do sell plug adabters. You can pick them up at any hardware store or even Wal-Mart. They are ussaully grey or orange , and look like the plug end of the extension cord. One end will have the 2 prong, the other side will have the slots to plug in the three prong.
Change either the plug or the cord. The fourth prong is another ground. It would be easier to change the cord.
buy a 3 prong cord and plug set at lowes or home depot and change the cord on the appliance.

Yes, and extension cord can be used with a microwave. But it is critical to pick an extension cord with a sufficiently high rating on it. Hardware stores and large home stores have extension cords specifically for use as appliance extension cords. They are heavy, and they have only a single place on the end to plug something into. They cost a bit, but are worth it in peace of mind.
You have to get an extension cord and plug them into it and then plug the extension cord somewhere in your house, if you do not have some type of outdoor outlet. You might try to get the extension cord through a window and then close the window as much as possible.
I don't know in years but you can leave it plugged in for over the winter and it be fine. Just make sure you use a three prong extension cord when plugging it in. The block heater should be a three prong plug as well.
