Buy a Haynes, Chilton or similar repair manual for your auto for $15, or get one free from your local library, and it will walk you through the process.

Don’t know about your specific vehicle. Some are quite easy: Remove about 16 bolts and drop the pan (drain the oil first), remove old gasket material and install new pan and gasket. Others are a pain in the rear because there is so much “stuff” in the way.
