Well, it's a transverse-mounted engine in a reasonably crowded engine bay, so expect some difficulty. You'd have to get the old one out completely(drain coolant first), check the hole for any damages, apply a good quality gasket sealant and then tap/hit the new one in place without it capsizing. Put a short piece of wood across it and hit it moderately hard with a hammer, shift the position of the wooden crossmember, hit it again. Repeat until the new plug is seated. refill coolant, check for leaks.

The engine will leak out coolant/antifreeze from the freeze plug area. Freeze plugs can be replaced, it may take a lot of work to replace one but they are made to be replaceable. It is not advisable to drive any vehicle with a blown freeze plug.
Locate the bad freeze plug and remove parts that impede the facilitation of reaching the plug. Take a screwdriver and hammer out the old plug. Replace the plug with either a regular plug (a socket that fits the inside of the freeze plug helps) or a rubber expanding freeze plug.
