You should be able to find all this information at the Florida DMV's website.

Re: Drivers License
Not sure about a learner permit but you can get a florida driver licence even on a visa waiver ... it will in your case be valid until the expiry of your I-94
you will need to take the full test..

Birth date verification and legal presence requirements
The issue of identification reliability, integrity, and confidentiality is of prime concern to all citizens. Eligibility for government services, issuance of various licenses, assessment of taxes, the right to vote, etc., are all determined through evaluations based on identification documents. It is critical that identification documents be authenticated and accurate in identifying each individual. The California driver license and ID card have been declared as primary identification documents in this state by the California legislature.
State law requires every applicant for an original California identification (ID) card and driver license to show verification of birth date and proof of legal presence within the United States to help safeguard the accuracy and integrity of departmental documents.
If your current name no longer matches the name on your birth date/legal presence document, see "True Full Name" and "How to Change Your Name" for more information.
Only the original or a certified copy of one of the following documents is acceptable:
* US Birth Certificate
* US Certificate or Report of Birth Abroad
* Federal Proof of Indian Blood Degree
* INS American Indian Card
* Birth Certificate or passport issued from a US Territory
* US Passport
* US Military Identification Cards (Active or reserve duty, dependent, retired member, discharged from service, medical/religious personnel)
* Common Access Card (only if designated as Active military or Active Reserve or Active Selected Reserve)
* Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship
* Northern Mariana Card
* INS US Citizen ID Card
* Permanent Resident Card
* Temporary Resident Identification Card
* Canadian Passport/Birth Certificate
* Non-resident Alien Canadian Border Crossing Card
* Valid foreign passport with a valid Record of Arrival/Departure (form I-94)
* Certification from California Department of Corrections or California Youth Authority
* Employment Authorization Card

Here is the procedure in CA:
(1) First you go to DMV office and get the form filled and get the
receipt of payment.
(2) Take the receipt to the Social security office. they will write
you a letter that you cannot apply for a social security number.
(3) Take the letter from SS office to DMV and proceed.
I don't see why you cannot apply for Learner's permit.
BTW, you can make an appiontment with DMV to cut the waiting time in
line. When you call DMV, you can also ask about this and get
confirmation of the procedure. Good luck.
