UPSET from Merriam Webster online dictionary: 1up·set Pronunciation: \(ˌ)əp-ˈset\ Function: verb Inflected Form(s): up·set; up·set·ting Date: 1677 transitive verb1: to thicken and shorten (as a heated bar of iron) by hammering on the end : swage No...upsetting is what you DO, a "rivet set" (a big hunk of iron with a machined-in socket for the rivet head) for the factory head and either a pneumatic rivet setter or a ball-peen hammer are what you do it with.
I assume the rivet you are asking about is a "tinners" rivet and not a more common "blind" rivet (commonly known as a "pop" rivet). If this the case the tool you want is called a "rivet set".
A ball-peen (also spelled pein) hammer, also known as a machinist's hammer, is a type of peening hammer used in metalworking. It is distinguished from a cross-peen hammer, point-peen hammer or chisel-peen hammer by having one hemispherical head and one flat head. Though the process of peening has become rarer in metal fabrication, the ball-peen hammer remains useful for many tasks, such as striking punches and chisels.A ball peen hammer is for shaping metal sheet.
upset -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Upsetting the rivet is to compress the rivet during the installation process. That can be done with a rivet gun to "hammer" the rivet against a bucking bar, or to use a rivet squeezer to compress the rivet.

A ball-peen hammer is a hammer with a flat head and an opposite, rounded - peening - head.
To install a semi-tubular rivet, you will need a rivet gun, a backing plate, and the rivet itself. Place the rivet through the pre-drilled holes in your workpieces, align the backing plate on the opposite side, and then use the rivet gun to compress the rivet until it creates a secure connection. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific rivet and tool you are using.
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.
