How to Edit Canon XA10 AVCHD Video on Mac with FCP?

"Will any converter work with Canon XA10? Currently my mac won't even recognize the files from the camera. I will want import my Canon XA10 files into FCP for editing, I am using Mac OSX 10.8'
"In my film school they teach us FCPX. its very easy to use but unfortunatly i have been a Windows kid my whole life and cannot adapt/afford to get a Mac just for the sake of FCP. I just got a 13.3" Acer laptop with a 1GB Nvidia 540m video card, 2.3ghz i3 processor, and 6 gigs of ram, with ability to output screen via HDMI. . with this i can afford to a Windows based Editing Suite.. Here is the thing: I have a Canon XA10, which i plan on using for short films and music videos. format is AVCHD. i do not care if the NLE pre-renders or post-render as long as it doesnt crash half way through. i also like all my footage to be recolored, to give the most dramatic appearance of any footage i use."
