Those are special bolts and shouldn't be replaced with any old bolt. If it is not a normal bolt head it will be either a Torx bit or allen bit. Both of them are available at any auto parts store. It should be a 50-55-60 size or maybe a 10mm allen wrench.

The bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket are 15mm head. The bolts that hold the bracket to the knuckle are 18mm head, or possibly 15mm.

80 ft lbs torque on the caliper guide pin bolts
129 ft lbs torque on the bracket bolts
