Rest energy is technically 0, mass can never be zero
According to the data sheet... the rest energy in MeV is only zero for photons and neutrinos? :/ How would I calculate the rest mass of a neutral pion using the data sheet?
Also how would I calculate the rest mass of a neutral pion using values from the data sheet?
Does your data sheet have the rest energy of a neutral pion on it? Otherwise, there's no way of calculating that without a fair bit of additional info.
Can you post the exact question and/or a photo of the relevant bit of your datasheet?

Erest=mrestc2
It does tell us the rest energy of a neutral pion.. the rest energy is: 134.972 MeV
Ah, you can use E = mc^2 but I have no idea how to use it.. I assume you make rest energy = mass * speed of light in a vacuum ^ 2 i.e. for a neutral pion, 134.972*10^6= rest mass * (3.00*10^8)^2 so rest mass can be calculated

lol i don't even know enough about physics(even though i take it for A level) to answer this.
I think the theoretical answer is yes because that's how photons have no mass but carry energy? but for your exam let's just say they're not xD
