Answer 1

I gather that SQL Server Compact has been deprecated in VS 2013. Check out this thread for some alternatives:

Answer 2

Here's a link to the SQL Server Compact ToolBox add-in to which ErikEJ referred in the SO thread.

If you're not wanting to do too much, that might be your best option:
