Yep, it's computer controlled so the programmer will set the gearing calculations based upon what you enter in the programmer as well as tire size to calculate the correct speed.

Nope, not unless the Ford dealer can reflash your PCM for them, but since they don't come in a stock configuration I'm gonna say that's a no go.

Also your odometer will be off while your speedo is off as well. Not to mention your tires are contributing more to this as well.
