How hard would it be to change out the substrate in my fahakas tank. I want to go with black gravel and also would I have to do anything special. I was wanting to change out like maybe half at a time.

Id suggest going to pool filter sand because fahaka's like to bury themselfs some times

Changing the substrate is not that difficult. Id just wash it really really well, and do it during a water change.
