Not stirring the pot with a rebody stuff but my metal dash in my dart is getting changed. Thus, I need to keep the vin for my car.

grind them off from the back side and pop em out
Then you could glue it back on with the same rivits and no one would know.

Call the CIA,FBI and Alert the Moparts police and have them ALL watch cause if you don't your car will be fake & that you are commiting a felony. I suggest keeping the original dash frame in the trunk and make a vin tag for your new dash that says *CTRUNKCOMPARTMENT*
 
Well atleast most would say that but go ahead and grind from the bottom and re-use...

no, most would not say that. 
nothing even close to illegal/fraudulent about what he is doing. 
as said grind off from bottom and reuse rosette heads with some adhesive.

You can also find a pair of rosette rivets on ebay for $25 or so. My tag had been removed so I bought a pair and riveted it back on neatly. My '72 Dart's dash VIN matches the radiator support and trunk lip stampings, but my driver's door has a sticker from a different Canadian Dart. Could be interesting if a cop looks elsewhere than the dash  -Charles

Also agree, GRIND them off, don't try drilling, that will spin the rivet scratching the face of the tag
