One way (for the tables at least) would be to drop the clustered index and then re-create the clustered index specifying the filegroup you are trying to combine them into. Since the clustered index is applied to the actual table this would accomplish what you are trying to do (for the tables).
You can read more about this approach on this MSDN forum topic.
