For co-op, you always get paid--it's a non-negotiable requirement.
Tasks depend on the position. I know someone in mol bio & genetics is doing his placement/thesis in my lab, and so the tasks he's doing are specific to the research our lab does and the project he's working on. Some people work in government, and it's kind of the same thing there...the tasks depend on exactly what lab or division you're in.
There are also some jobs that don't involve lab work.
