It's not terribly hard, but it's not terribly worth it either. Generally, the guitar is calibrated for the neck that comes with it. You can change necks, but if you don't know what you're doing, sorting the intonation (etc) can be an absolute bugger. Strat necks are lovely, but to my mind, a good player is a good player whatever the guitar. So, if you can't play for shit on your current neck, no other neck is going to help.

I would say it's probably best to start with the pick-ups before you do anything else, as they'll affect the sound more than anything else. Be careful that any new pickups you buy don't have feedback reduction-type technology. Very, very annoying.

Basically, unless you're super attached to the guitar (emotionally) I would say wait a while until you can afford a new guitar, rather than endlessly trying to make the one you have better.
