XeTeX is telling you he can't find the font. You don't have it on your 
computer, because it should be installed. Try to download the ``lm'' 
package with TeXLive manager (tlmgr).

plain.tex (not ``pain.tex'', although some people will be pleased by 
your typo :) ) is the source code for a format; it is not supposed  to 
be compiled by itself (it's not a document).

TeXLive is correctly configured, but you should try to run your own 
documents. My question is: you're new to TeXLive, but are you new to 
TeX? In which case you should read a proper introduction, either to 
plain TeX:

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/impatient/book.pdf
[+ find a copy of the TeXbook]

or to LaTeX (choose your language!):

http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/

or to ConTeXt:

http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/ms-cb-en.pdf

You can't use TeX without some learning before, unless you're willing to 
spend many sleepless nights on it (which you'll do anyway).

Best,
Paul
