I find it very annoying that the run, hide, and vault are all the same button. I can't tell you how many times I have been trying to unhide so I could backpedal to a different cover position, when because I had the joystick slightly pressed I instead vaulted at the attacker and got killed.
Is there a way to change the key bindings so I stop killing myself because of the awkward control interface?
I realize that there is probably different answers for each system. My specific situation is for Xbox, but I assume the other console owners have the same problem since the bindings are the same.
In this answer regarding keybindings for conversation skipping w/o choosing a response, there was mention of only being able to do this for PC by modding the config files. Does the same apply, and if so, if I get the PC version, what are config settings I must change?
I guess this would be most applicable to ME3 since it recently came out, but I still had the same problems in the other games, so the answer could apply to all of them, if that's possible.

No, you cannot customize the control layout for consoles the way you describe. No such options exist in the game options, nor does any reference to customizing controls exist in the console manuals: http://help.ea.com/article/mass-effect-3-manuals
Here is the controller options screen in the Xbox 360 version:
