yes, you can try removing the tire then the brakes and then the wheel and see if your studs pop out or not. The other thing you can do it to just drive without it as most cars with 5 or more lug nuts can work just fine missing one.

By the way what kind of car is it and how many good lug nuts remain? While it's okay to drive a short distance missing 1lug nut, it's not recommended that you go very far.

Many tire stores will replace a wheel stud for a reasonable price and if you don't feel comfortable doing the job yourself, that might be a good option. As for doing it yourself, disassemble the wheel, brake, whatever is necessary to get clear access to the back of the stud. Drive the stud out using a large hammer and a drift punch if necessary. Then install the new stud. You'll need to seat the stud by using the lug nut, then with the wheel on, tighten the lug nut to continue to seat the stud. Check it several times over the next couple days since a new stud can pull itself in a little further as you drive.
