Patience and perseverance. Most reptiles, though never actually becoming 'tame', will get used to being handled. If you're bothered about being bitten - wear thick gloves during the early stages of handling. Once you're confident the snake has accepted you're not going to hurt it - you can discard the gloves. A corn snakes bite is harmless (although painful) and can be treated with antiseptic.

Hard to say. They never become truly 'tame' as a cat or dog would. Perseverance is the key - however - you may never get the snake to accept being handled.
