1. get something to suck out the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir. (i.e. plastic syrenge ?Sp, or even a turkey baster.)
2. fill it up with the new brake fluid.
3. bleed brakes a couple of times until new fluid comes out of each bleeder on each brake.
dont try and bleed out the remaining old fluid after sucking out the fluid from the reservoir. if you do, your going to have to pull out the master cylinder and bench bleed it. just do it my way by using the new fluid to push out and bleed out the old fluid and youll be fine.

You can, you just have to buy a brake bleeding kit. I bought one a few years ago from MityVac for like 35 bucks. Its a little hand pump that you connect up to your bleed fittings and pump out the old fluid until it comes out clean. Just gotta make sure the reserviors never go dry.
