There has been no plans to land on it but somehow in the future they are thinking of blowing it up or somehow pushing it away with a satellite.
A manned mission to this asteroid is possible but they're probably wouldn't be much benefit from it besides the first person to land on a asteroid.
I think Apophis is a metallic asteroid.

If you read up on what the United nations has proposed, as a measure of preparedness, then you'll know that countries around the world are aware of the 45,000 to one shot. There is a contingency plan in the works.
