you can get fancy bolts, i have coloured co-ordinated hope bolts to fill the v-brake hole mounts that are colour matched for my sid world cups and my trek 9.8 which did not cost that much, i got them from chain reaction. the hope(hope is the crowd renowed for really good disc brakes) bolts fitted perfect and flush for me

you are refering to screw in brake bosses, as found on suspenion forks?
these unscrew but can be really really tight.
I have used a socket screw -aka grub screw - naturally in stinaless, or a piece of rubber cut to size and pushed into the hole.
There are at least 2 different threads for the bosses so you may not find the correct socket screw - seem to recall one being some US size.
generally you need only one as you would use the other to secure your brake hose to the forks.
