    You already successfully calculated the number of moles of FeSO4 molecules are present. Since there's only one Fe(II) ion per molecule, that means that there are 2.57x10^-3 moles of Fe(II) as well.

    You know the number of moles, so how do you convert that into the number of atoms? Just multiply by 6.02x10^23, right?
