Try this: 

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("iskpiFilterAction"));  
((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("arguments[0].style.type = 'button';", element);

Hmm, your question doesn't make sense for me. But I can exactly answer for your question.

For selenium 2 (webdriver):

WebDriver driver = ...

JavascriptExecutor jsExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
jsExecutor.executeScript("document.getElementById('iskpiFilterAction').type = 'button';");

Result is:

button

This code causes changing type of element (from hidden to button), but it doesn't make sense for all of us. These two elements have different purpose/use. For more information see:

I didnt quiet understand the question.. However .. if you have a hidden object which you want to unhide dynamically using JavaScript using some trigger, this is a way you could do that:

<head>
<script>
function unhide()
{
    document.getElementById("iskpiFilterAction").type = "button";
} 
</script>
</head>
<body onload="unhide()">
<input id="iskpiFilterAction" type="hidden" value="1" name="isKpiFilterAction">
</body>

I am using body onload event to unhide the object so the moment this page loads you will see the button which u can then click. However if you want it some be triggered at some other event you can use the function accordingly.

Hope it helps.
