How to remove surface shader?

Hi! So I'm very much new to the whole Maya scene, and I've a problem. I'm using a file which has a surface shader so that the object can be rendered without lighting. How do I remove that and apply materials that react to lighting as a default lambert would? I tried reapplying the material various times, and I tried going into the graph network of the shading groups (in the Hypershade), but I'm still just as lost. Anyone know how to do this?

You should be able to simply select your object and apply a new material. Do you have any render layers? That will make things more complex if the surface shader is applied on different render layers.
