If I want to apply the courier font to a small piece of text in my file, how can I do that? I have searched around but can't seem to find information for the courier font.

Monospaced fonts usually set up two features:
- no hyphenation, and
- no stretching or shrinking of the interword spaces.
Courier, selected by \usepackage{courier} is no exception. The reason is that enabling hyphenation or flexible interword space would have undesired effects on listings, which are the main use for monospaced fonts.
Moreover, long texts in a monospaced font are hard to read (and, of course, math fonts will clash with the text font).
However, if you want to experiment, here's a workaround:
\documentclass[
12pt,
paper=14.5cm:10.5cm,
pagesize=auto,
]{scrartcl}
\areaset{13cm}{9cm}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\renewcommand{\ttdefault}{pcr} % this is what \usepackage{courier} does
% a copy of ot1pcr.fd with changes for the interword spacing
\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pcr}{%
\fontdimen3\font1.67\fontdimen6\font
\fontdimen4\font1.11\fontdimen6\font
}

The page size problem is solved by giving the pagesize=auto option.
Here's the version for T1 encoded fonts, which is recommended for German.

If your verbatim text doesn't contain Cyrillic letters, you can modify the setup macro of fancyvrb to use the T1 encoding. The problem is that TeX distributions don't feature a Cyrillic Courier compatible font.
Similarly, you can use a similar declaration for listings.
\documentclass[10pt]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper,left=3cm,right=2cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian]{babel}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\FV@SetupFont}
{\FV@BaseLineStretch}
{\fontencoding{T1}\FV@BaseLineStretch}
{}{}
\makeatother
\lstset{
basicstyle=\fontencoding{T1}\ttfamily,
columns=fullflexible
}

A monospaced font that has coverage for Cyrillic is PTMono; unfortunately, listings does not behave well with UTF-8 characters (check with listings-utf8 that however requires using \lstinputlisting).

If you're keen to switch to XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX, then there's no big problem, if you have an OpenType/TrueType version of Courier on your system that supports Cyrillic; in my case it's called Courier New.

\usepackage[a5paper,left=3cm,right=2cm,top=1.5cm,bottom=1.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{fontspec}

The same as above can be said about lstlisting. You may also want to look at minted.
