Check out All Electronics Corp for cheap electro-mechanical items. They sell servos and other things you may find of interest
 
"Can" depends on your physical abilities and available tools, not to mention whether the servo exists in the VCR or not. If you've got the tools, VCR, and physical ability, simply remove one screw after another until it's apart. A pair of wire cutters or desoldering equipment is also handy.

Chances are there's a few motors in there you can use. The best one is probably in charge of spinning the read/write heads at a rate controlled by a phase locked loop circuit.
