Restore that file from your backups. If you don't have a backup, the
data may be irretrievably lost. This is why it is important to make
backups...

Not necessarily, since one or more revisions between 421 and 509 may
be based on the missing revision 420. But you can try:

svnadmin dump -r 421:509 /path/to/repos > dumpfile

It is not possible. A working copy does not contain the entire
repository history. It only contains the specific revisions of files
that were checked out, in this case r462 (for at least some of the
files).
