You could, if you have the tools required. The question is why would you? Don't you have someone to give assistance?
You will have to purchase a 'repair manual' for you specific year and model/make. They are usually available a auto parts supply store.
First, disconnect the positive cable from the battery.
Second, with the correct size socket attached to a breaker bar relief the tension and remove serpentine belt.
Third, again with correct socket and rachet (or combination wrench) remove the mounting bolts from idler.
Fourth, reverse steps to completion.
footnote................When re-installing belt make sure it is properly placed. Failure here will not only destory the belt but put undue stress on idler.

This could be a difficult job for you, depending on you mechanical skills. I would suggest a trip to your local library. Look for an automotive repair manual. There are any number of repair manuals that should give you an idea of how to go about the installation. Chilton is the first that comes to mind.
