You need to turn on fcoe support with the configuration command "feature fcoe". You will also need the appropriate license for fabric services. But even without the license you should be able to enter fc commands. They just won't work until you add the license. Without the"feature fcoe", the interface type won't even show up in command help. There are other storage fabric related services that you may want to turn on with the feature command as well.
