Default replacing electrical plugs

I bought an old condo after moved out from my parents' house. I would
like to replace all almond-color electrical plugs with white plugs.
The plug and the cover are pretty cheap at HD.

I pulled out one and it doesn't seem too complicate but I'm not sure.
What do I need to know before I will give it a shot?


Step #1: Know where the breaker box is, how to locate a particular circuit
and turn off the breaker for it.

Step #2: Know which wire goes to which color of screw in the outlet.

Step #3: Know how much insulation to strip from the wire, how to do it, how
to make an eye in the bare wire and which way to place the eye on the screw.
