Look up Project Mohole. It was intended to drill to the mohoravic discontinuity, but did not make it due to unanticipated problems.

Have scientists drilled into the earths Lower Mantle?

No, scientists have not yet drilled into the Earth's lower mantle. This region of the Earth is located about 400 to 1,800 miles below the surface, making it extremely difficult to reach with current drilling technology. The deepest hole ever drilled, the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, only reached about 7.5 miles deep.

What is pier foundation of drilled Caisson foundation?

Not sure of the wording of your question. A drilled casison foundation is typically constructed with an auger that digs a hole in the earth. Reinforcing steel MAY be placed in the hole, which is then poured full of concrete. These may be small- about 8 inches in diameter for a deck on a house- or 10ft wide and 85 feet deep for a bridge we built in CA.

What is the purpose of a counterbored hole in engineering and how is it different from a regular drilled hole?

A counterbored hole in engineering is used to create a recessed area at the top of a drilled hole. This allows for a screw or bolt head to sit flush with the surface. It is different from a regular drilled hole because it has a wider diameter at the top to accommodate the head of the fastener.
