As long as it is not an out of bounds stake, you can pull it out of the ground and put it to one side, then play your ball. If it is an out of bounds stake, this is deemed to mark the boundary of the course and therefore you cannot move it, simply play the ball as it lies.
The above is only correct with respect to out of bounds stakes. Under the Rules of Golf they are deemed to be fixed. If a player moves such a stake and replaces it before he plays his next stroke he will still be penalised for removing it. Loss of hole in match play or two strokes in stroke play.
Water Hazards, regular or lateral, are also marked by way of stakes. Thes are deemed to be movable obstructions and can, therefore, be removed if they interfere with a player's stance or area of intended swing.
A Committee can, however, deem these stakes to be immovable obstructions (fixed) by qa Local Rule, but the player will be entitled to relief, without penalty, under Rule 24-2b.

∙ 13y agoAccording to Decision 17/6, the flag is treated as a movable obstruction, which means that you get free relief. Unfortunately, free relief doesn't mean that you get to just put the ball in the hole. Instead, you have to place the ball on the lip of the cup (but not so close that it can roll in).
