The stain is not permanent. The spots will gradually fade away. If you want them gone now, since they are rust caused by iron, a product like CLR works great to remove them.
I was going to try CLR but it says not to use on porous material. Snowcap takes too long and leaves a white residue. The cutting wheel is the fastest or you can try a wire brush.
