Are Datatables 508 compliant?
When I tab the cursor moves through the headers and footers. How can I tab through the columns and rows? Please advise. Thank you.

Yes, DataTables is 508 compliant.
The headers are tabbable since they can gain focus (and have an action taken on them when activated - sorting the column). I'm not sure why the footers are tabbable in your case - they aren't in all tables.
The cells aren't focusable since they don't have any action to take on them (by default). You could make them focusable, but I would argue that doing so would severely hinder accessibility. Consider, for example, that paragraphs in a page are not tabbable.
