The correct way is to remove the hub and use a press so yes the hub nut will have to come off
the studs are pressed in and it you use a hammer and drift to remove/replace the broken studs , you will damage the wheel bearings

We broke the lugs on our toyota echo how do we

Lugs?. I guess are the wheel studs(Im in australia)
First see if toyota sells the lugs separately, if yes you can use a punch to remove the last broken bit, the new ones are installed by packing with washers and using the wheel nut to pull them back into place.
If you cant buy lugs separately, you will need a new hub from the dismantlers

Replacing rear lugs

There are 4 bolts holding the wheel bearing/ABS sensor Assembly to the axle housing. Remove them and remove the wheel bearing from the car. You will be able to rotate the spindle and remove the lug studs. To replace them put it in the hole and tighten a lug nut to pull it into place(an impact wrench will be quite helpful). No Hammering it in, as it may dammage the sensor or bearing.

Two left side front wheel studs nuts broken.

They are replaceable.
You can knock the broken studs out with a point chisel (wear safety glasses). Take the pieces and nut to an auto parts store in order to get the same nut size (don't want to use two tire tools/wrenches).

Instructions to replace sheared off lugs / studs - 1997 Chevy

You can remove old lug by driving it out with a decent sized hammer. To re-install, push new one into flange from backside and stack washers on wheel side, leaving enough room for the lug nut to go on. (backwards...flat side in) Tighten the nut, pulling the lug into the flange, till it is flush (like the unbroken ones) I suggest that you put some lube on lug threads to prevent binding while doing this.
