Create a list of replacement rules: Table[{Rule[z, Exp[I Pi/k]]}, {k, 1,
20}]
perform the replacements: Sum[a[k]*z^(10 - k), {k, 0, 10}] /. Table[{Rule[z,
Exp[I Pi/k]]}, {k, 1, 20}]

and take the real parts:

ComplexExpand[
 Re[Sum[a[k]*z^(10 - k), {k, 0, 10}] /.
   Table[{Rule[z, Exp[I Pi/k]]}, {k, 1, 20}]]]
