They should be relatively standard. Get a spark plug socket for your rachet, and don't overtighten the new ones. You might need a torque wrench to make sure the new ones are properly tightened.
Most auto parts stores should have a maintenance manual for sale; if you're unsure, get the manual. Better to spend the $10 than damage the engine, and need a repair. If you need a torque wrench, you should be able to rent that either at the AP place, or a tool rental location.

OK tell me where the spark plugs are at in the engine? It should be very easy for most Japanese vehicles because the plugs are right in the top of the engine, which is very common on 4 cyl. Japanese engines. You'll need a wrench, an extension, and a 3/4 socket (this is a special socket that is made to remove spark plugs). Buying the book for your car helps a lot I bought mine for my Astro and I've changed oil to the manifold, with out ever taking a mechanic class. And if you need tools Auto Zone rents tools, some employees there are knowledgeable in car repair so you could ask them. Oh!! Remember to get platinum spark plugs because this are spark plugs that last 100,000 miles instead of the 3,000 miles so your spark plugs would probably be the last thing on your mind for a few years, approximately 10 years, and also make sure you get boch or the Japanese equivalent and the cables should be double silicon too.

Vague question here so I'll pretend you have no clue.
You will need,
a.) a decent socket set with a spark plug socket.
b.) basic torque wrench
c.) replacement plugs (from your local part shop, dont' go to the dealer or you will pay premioum.)
d.) gap gauge.
Your autparts store shoudl be able to tell you the correct gap for your car. Replace the plugs one at a time (so you don't mix them up) remove the old plugs inspect them for fouling, oil deposits etc. If they look good adjust the spark gap appropriately then install the new plug. Be sure to hand tighten the plug. Then use a quarter turn with a wrench or better use a torque wrench to the correct torque setting. If you plan to do other home garage stuff I strongly suggest getting a haynes manual.
