Head gaskets are not "fixable", they need to be replaced. The difficulty level depends on how mechanically inclined you are. Go to your local library and check out a repair manual (Hayne's or Chilton's) for your vehicle. You will find detailed instructions on head gasket replacement and you can decide if you want to take it upon yourself on or not.
