There is a tool for removing rivets. It looks like flat pliers. They just go around the head then snap it off and the rivet falls out. However, if you do not have one just hold it with any pliers or not at all and drill out the center with a smaller bit, then tap it out through the back. Its actually pretty simple. It won't make the hole larger unless you use a drill bit thats too big.

Yea, if you are talking about the plastic clips (rivets).
If you are meaning real rivets, that are metal you have to drill them. But it sounds like you are talking about the plastic ones.
