It's honestly a lot easier than you think it is. Get some motion pro fork levers. Get three of the longest ones if you're just going to be changing tires at home. To make things easier take the valve core out of the old tire and ride the bike around a little to get all the air out before you take the wheel off. After that you can pop the bead with a clamp or side stand, or just get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08-0439-Bead-Popper/dp/B001AWM0HS and hit it with a hammer. That thing even makes popping the bead on my DR650's nightmarish rear tire a breeze. Once it's popped use the three tire levers to pry off the tire (youtube helps for learning the proper method here). Once it's off put some baby powder on the new tube to prevent chaffing and dish soap around the new tire bead and reverse the process. You probably won't need to inflate the tube to 100 psi to set the new bead, all mine have popped in at about 25 psi which is no problem for any old pump/compressor.
