It depends on whether someone has already created an image for your device.
If so, it's not complicated at all - download a few files, unzip, and type a couple of well-documented commands on a PC while the tablet is plugged in. It took me less than an hour the first time I did it, of which most of the time was spent watching progress bars!
If however your tablet is not in the list of 'supported devices' for the other firmware you'd like to use, I wouldn't try it at all. Likewise if the tablet's bootloader can't be easily unlocked; finding an exploit to crack it can be seriously difficult and time-consuming.
I hope that gives you an idea of how difficult this may or may not be - I hope your device turns out to be in the first category!
