depends on the laptop...

find out if its Sata or IDE..

then open up and replace... most laptop hdds are fairly easy to replace..

MSY have cheap laptop hdds

They take a 2.5" SATA hard drive. Should be very simple to swap it over to a new drive

Best thing to do is take the current one out and take it to a computer store if you are unsure.

I'd suggest buying a new HDD, and ghosting the image over from your current HDD over to the new one.
