    It's a scratch which means the plastic is deformed. Only way to fix a scratch is either to buff it out or fill it in with something. I wouldn't bother trying either.

    Just live with it or buy a skin but I doubt that you want to do that so soon.

    If it is on the silver or white areas then leave it; because those parts are painted. You may end up damaging the paint and making it look much worse.
