If you want to change them ALL now, you can do it. You didn't say whether the caps were on a printed circuit board or not, or what they do in the circuit.

In theory, any cap with the same capacitance and voltage rating will work, but in reality, some cap constructions are better than others in a given application. So someone would have to give you a tip about that. Also, if you are not skilled at soldering and your parts are on a pcb, you might want to cut your teeth on some other project. Removing parts from circuit boards can be difficult and destructive.
