I think the following line does what you want (minus preserving the row
labels):

apply(data, 2, sample)

Maybe someone smarter than me knows how to preserve the row names. I
would probably just steal them from the original data frame:

nam = row.names(data)
apply(data, 2, sample)
row.names(foo) = nam
