Well...

if they are screws, there should be a tool to unscrew them, if they are rivets, then the best and possibly only safe way is to drill them out. if done carefully, they should be coaxed out. Then you can either re-rivet the cap base on or find a couple of appropriate size screws to replace the rivets.

You will have to find someone that can lend you a drill.

Anyone else have a better idea?

Good luck.
