Went to upgrade my pedals and noticed this covering the socket. What can I use/do to get to the socket? Also, on the outside of the pedal the screw is exposed, should I anticipate this same thing when I change them? Thanks in advance!!

Looks like a small cap, you ought to be able to remove it with a small screwdriver.
Can we get a picture from the top of the crank looking down on it? I think you need a pedal wrench for this, not an allen key.
The other side is just the bolt that holds the pedal together on the spindle. If you only loosen that up you’ll be left with the spindle left on the crank arm. You could pry the plug open with basically anything that’s small enough to go into that nook. However, you can also screw off the pedal with a wrench. That way you dont have to remove the plug at all
Usea pedal wrench https://youtu.be/LFbSBG7jMzY?si=k-Lg4ao5_thajHtx
Not every pedal can be removed from the inside with a hex wrench, what you are seeing isn’t a cap, its part of the pedal. Like others have said, you will need a pedal wrench, once its off you will see there was no cap to remove.
