You can drill or torch them out. If you intend to have them turned there is no reason to remove the rivets, just remove the hub from the spindle and have the entire assembly machined.

No need to cut the rivets out to change the studs......leave the hub and rotor together and just R&R the studs.......no need to separate the two parts unless your installing new rotors.....
