There are a couple of ways to go with this project but both are very simple.
1. If you want to save your radio and other settings, connect a small (motorcycle type) 12v battery or power supply to the battery cables. That way you'll have constant power to the cables so memory settings will be saved. If you don't care about settings just skip this step.
2. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery and set the connector aside. If you've connected temporary power to the cable ends, wrap them in something (a towel will do) so they can't touch the vehicle body.
3. Disconnect the positive (red) cable and set the (insulated if necessary) connector aside
4. Remove the hold down clamp
5. Lift the battery out of the engine bay. Be careful, it's heavy.
6. Check the battery area for any crusty white stuff (indicating there's been an acid spill) or rust. Clean and repair as necessary.
7. Slip a new battery into the newly cleaned space and reconnect cables, positive then negative.
8. If you didn't connect a temporary power supply to the cables, reset your radio stations and your power window/moon roof auto switches. Until you do, the 'auto' functions won't work properly. Instructions are in your owners manual.
Cheers
