1. No, changing to factor will make no difference. 2. I think that most likely your problem is your model is not estimable/your design matrix is singular. You should resolve this by consulting with a local statistical expert or, if your data set is not too large or confidential, posting your full dataset using dput() (see ?dput for how to do this).
