To answer your question on how long you can drive like this, I would say none. I would not drive on broken rotors at all.
To replace the rotors you will need to remove the hub. You will need the hub nut removal socket. You can get it at most parts stores. Not all will have the right one though so be careful. Once the hub is off you will have to drive the lug studs out. This takes a big hammer and a little sweat. Once out the rotor will fall off. Replace the rotor and drive the lug studs back in. replace the hub and brakes and you are done. If you have a repair manual that helps with torque specs etc.

The pictures were of two different types of sockets from different manufacturers
The part number for the one that NAPA sells is SER3246
And the PowerBuilt part number is 648477
I originally bought the NAPA piece but later found the powerbuilt at Checker for about 1/2 the price so I returned the one to NAPA
