• 1) If it's 27" then most likely a Rigida and there is no cassette, it is a screw on freewheel block.
    2) The tool to remove will likely be one of three. A splined or 2-notch or 4-notch. This is easy to identify.
    3) If you buy the removal tool then you want to buy a singlespeed freewheel with the same fitting
    4) Then you will need to respace the axle and redish the wheel. Easier said than done. Will need spoke key

    There are plenty of threads that cover all of these
