A round head or "button head" rivet. Typically only used for solid rivets with such a head shape.
A copper snap head rivet is a type of fastener used to join two or more materials together. It consists of a solid copper shaft with a rounded snap head on one end. The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and then the shaft is hammered or pressed to expand and secure the materials in place.

A snap head rivet is used to create a finished appearance on the exposed side of the material being riveted. It provides a clean look and can offer some level of tamper resistance.
A rivet set is a tool used to seat the rivet while drawing the material to be joined together to eliminate any voids or spaces between the head of the rivet and the materials to be joined. Some rivet sets also have an indentation to assist in both initially deforming the rivet to "set it" and to assist in the final shaping, though in days of old the tool that was used for the final shape of a rivet was also sometimes referred to as a snap. But in another time a snap was what a round head rivet was called. This all, of course, was just to add a bit of generational confusion.

Depends on the type of rivet but most can be removed by drilling off the head with a larger size drill bit then pushing the rivet the rest of the way out. You will then need a rivet gun and appropiate size rivet to replace it.
