Evunia,
A torn calf muscle can be very painful. It will heal but you must rest it. Here are a few websites that can give you some more information. Firstly a general site on calf injuries:

Here are some exersizes designed to strengthen the calf

You could also think of deep water running as a way of keeping up the exersize whilst it recovers:

Hope the above help
