The law is quite likely different from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but one would reasonably believe that only the person(s) that own the plot can legally remove (or approve the removal) of a headstone.

Certainly not without permission of the cemetary and the next of kin. If you are the next of kin, you should contact the cemetary's management and ask about their policy. If you are unsatisfied with the answer, contact a local attorney to research your state's laws about removal of headstones. Generally speaking anytype of unauthorized tampering with a gravesite is illegal.

It's illegal, unless you are a family member replacing with a different marker. Work needs to be done by cemetary.

If you stand at the foot of the grave should you read the font of the headstone?

I think so. why else would you be standing at the foot of a grave? unless it's somebody you know, in which case you don't really need to read the headstone every time you visit it. Do you mean 'should you be able to read the front of the headstone?'. In that case, yes: the front part of the headstone is the part facing the grave, so if you are standing on the grave side of the headstone you'll be able to read the front.
