Alternatively to Scotts answer, you can right click the layer and select Convert to Smart Object.

It will merge the layer together with its styles, allowing you to apply new styles.

Or you can then rasterize the layer by right clicking again and selecting Rasterise Layer.

This works in CS5 so I assume they won't have changed too much of this for CS6.

Add an empty layer below the vector layer.

Highlight the Vector layer and from the Layer Panel Menu choose Merge Down*

This will flatten all the effects into a single raster layer.
