i believe you will need the almost-microscopic-led lights out there. i believe they are the surface mount LED's. You will also need soldering experience (duh) and a decent soldering gun.. its literally just desoldering the old and soldering the new

I get my LED's from http://www.lsdiodes.com

i personally have not put new LED's in my DS.. but desoldering is the same as soldering except instead of getting the stuff to stay in place you want to remove it.. so just melt the solder and pull the LED off

there should already be a resistor in place, but since you're changing colors I would recommend replacing the resistor as well because different colors use different voltages and amps

Just follow the traces both ways till you find it, if all else fails just stick in another resistor with the LED. 330Ω is usually about the minimum for normal LEDs so it shouldn't effect it too much even if there is another resistor in series with it.
