Other things being equal, yes - with the same force, you can make the light object rotate faster. The amount of force required to make an object rotate depend on the mass, the size, and the general shape of the object. And of course on the rotational velocity you want to achieve. Do some reading on "moment of inertia" - for rotational motion, that is the equivalent of "mass" for linear motion.

Why would the vanes rotate faster if the brighter light source is used?

The vanes of a radiometer rotate faster when a brighter light source is used because the light exerts more energy on the blackened side of the vanes, causing them to heat up and create a temperature difference that drives the rotation due to the momentum transfer of gas molecules. This results in increased kinetic energy and faster rotation.

Why a heavy object does not falle faster than a light object?

When heavy objects roll down something, fricition is involved. Friction is made by the rubbing of one thing against the other. Try rubbing your hands together reallly fast. Do your hands feel warm? Heavy objects have more friction, which slows down the heavy object. Lighter objects have less friction which cause it to run faster.
