When you spend the target lock, you will no longer have it for the attack. Other than in EXTREMELY rare circumstances (the ability to acquire a target lock between spending it and modifying your dice), you will be unable to spend a target lock to modify the dice on a weapon that requires you to spend a target lock to make the attack. There are missiles that don't require you to spend a target lock to attack (homing missiles and proton rockets are two good ones.  Homing missiles require a target lock, but you don't have to spend it, and proton rockets require a focus, but you don't have to spend it), but for most circumstances, you're going to get what you roll.
