To work with individual objects within a group, either ungroup the objects, or use the Subselection tool to subselect only the objects you want to modify.
Subselection tool
Modifying the attributes of a subselected object changes only the subselected object and not the entire group. Moving a subselected object to another layer removes the object from the group.
