unless the rust is al the way through just take off the pan sand it down and repaint it with some high temp paint the heat from the exhaust has a tendency to cause the paint to peel off and that leads to rust

why do you need to jack it up to replace the oil pan? just unbolt it and let it drop. if its rusted and bolts twist off then you are gonna have to drill and rethread them unless to you enough thread showing to get a grip on them.
