Is it any keyboard shortcut or free addon in Visual Studio 2010 that allows to switch between header (C/C++ .h file) and implementation (C/C++ .cpp file)?

Visual Studio does not have a built-in keyboard shortcut to switch back and forth. A macro is by far your best bet if you want to automate this with a single keyboard shortcut. For a list of suggested options, see the answers to a previous question.
The add-in Visual Assist X provides this feature with the shortcut Alt+O (however, add-ins are not supported by the Express editions of Visual Studio).
If you’re trying to avoid using a macro, there is an alternative way to achieve a similar result, although it is a two-click process:
To switch from header to implementation:
Right-click a.cpp file and choose “Go To Header File” from the context menu.
To switch from implementation to header:
Right-click an identifier declared in the header and choose “Go To Definition” from the context menu.
