Purana,

Why are you worrying about your status? You should be worried about your interview rather. Be prepared and go to the interview, no need to ask stupid question like, "Do you guys hire F1?"

Yes, most government organization want US citizenship but not all. The one's that require US citizenship will have it noted in the job posting.

I see that you have nothing to lose even if they don't hire non US citizen. It will be a good experience for you to go through the process. You have nothing to lose beside couple of hours.

You only need to show eligibility to work after you are offered the job which you can easily by getting your CPT.

Good luck.
