Yes, depends on how skill you are ...

there are special tool which name I don't know in english (some kind of
lever?), but in nearly every moto-shop (Luis, H&G ...) the staff will
help you. Just have in mind that longer tools are better to do this job
but are hard to handle in your bike (no place to hide it). If you care
about your rims, then it would be vise to buy an accessory which I'm
again not able to name, it's a piece of plastic with a small cable, that
you will put on the edge of the rim to prevent any damage on it while
working with the lever. Both those things can be, in case of need and
with big care, replaced by a big screwdriver and a piece of garden-hose.
All the other work is very similar with changing tyre on your car. Just
take care about the rims and brake discs.
So hope I help you a bit.
Bye for now
