Typically they are very easy to replace.
If it's only the mirror that's broken, they are simply glued one. You'll need a good scraper to remove the old mirror and adhesive. Get a replacement mirror from a parts store and glue it back on.
If the entire side mirror with it's casing needs to be replaced, you'll need to remove the casing. You can do this simply by prying the little plastic cover that is on the inside off. (sometimes it's held on by a hidden screw)
The side mirror is then held on to the door by 2-3 screws. Remove these screws and the entire side mirror component will come out. Disconnect the electrical connector and reverse for installation. You can probably get a replacement for cheap at a local junk yard.
