Yes. You drill out the rivets and bolt a new one in. Call XRF up and see if they offer one for our car. I highly recommend them if they do. If not, go with the higher-end Spicer or Moog. Avoid cheapies. Ball joints are important parts and you don't want to skimp on them.
Pick yourself up a good drill bit. I have a set of Ridgid cobalt bits from HD and they are amazing.

Post back what you think. I use their parts in my truck and they're beefy and awesome. I have read only good things about them. But I hate being the only person on this board to be recommending them! Their prices are good, too. Usually between Spicer's two lines while being as good or better than Spicer's good stuff.

Hell, you can do it with a grinder/dremel if you want. (Only as a last resort, IMO)

Don't get the cheap Autozone ones. I tried an Autozone one cause no else had any in stock. Well the ball joint wouldn't sit flush on the A arm. So I retruned and and wait a day for a moog. Fits much better and the quality is a lot better. Just drill out the rivets it's not too hard.
i think the factory uppers are just fine and dandy.
the moog is very slightly better but mostly because of the fact it is greaseable.
for the lowers the moog is a much better part than the factory and a lot beefier.
the factory uppers should last you a long time.

Yeah. I use their tie rod ends. Awesome stuff. More well known on some other boards.
Some people will buy anything, huh?
