It depends on the application. For things where gluten formation is an important part of the structure (ex. bread, or any type of kneaded dough) it will be much more difficult. However, in thickening applications or other situations where starch is the main structural component, other starch types will work if adjustments to the recipe are made.
I'd suggest looking up some gluten-free recipes online rather than switching the flours in regular recipes if gluten-free cooking is new to you.

If a recipe is gluten free is it wheat free?
Since wheat does contain gluten, you would think so. However, researchers have been developing gluten-free wheat for gluten-free diets, so there is the rare case where you can have something that is gluten free but DOES contain wheat. In the USA, this wheat would be labeled on the package. And of course, a wheat-free recipe is not necessarily gluten-free, since there exist other sources of gluten besides wheat.
