It shouldn't be too difficult, but... It's kind of a "good news / bad news" situation.
The good; The actual process of disconnecting the mic, stripping the connection, and soldering in the new jack would take maybe 10 minutes, assuming you don't care how pretty it is. A cheap soldering kit with a meter like the one I just found HERE is all you really need, tool wise. Add another few bucks for the new jack and you're all set.
The bad; Line level and mic level are quite different beasts, so simply replacing a mic-in with a line-in could lead to some pretty bad distortion. The ease of the project is entirely dependant on the quality of the tape deck we're talking about. Basically, there are two ways this could go: Either you pull out the mic and it's an entirely enclosed system that the maker added on after designing the rest of the unit, or it's just a mic that sends a raw signal to processors on the main circuit board. There could be extra problems with both scenarios, but the first one is what you're hoping for. No matter what, it may require additional gear to either amplify or attenuate the line-in signal to match the original input level.
I'm sure there are a ton of people who are FAR more experienced than I am with this, so you really should hold out for someone who could do it better. I haven't touched a soldering iron in over a decade, but I do have a degree in audio, so it's not like I'm a complete novice. If nobody else steps up, I could at least take a look and tell you how hard of a project it would actually be.
Electronics tools like soldering iron, multimeter.
If you have none of those tools and that's all you can afford it's not the end of the world but in general you should beware most any "entry kit" type product like that. I just looked on amazon and there are kits like this for under $30 that include a soldering iron, tweezers, solder sucker, and even a fucking multimeter all in a travel case.
Looks great on the surface but what that really means is that all of those tools are hot garbage to leave them any room for profit. Maybe they'll be fine, maybe they won't, but they're definitely going to be the cheapest versions available.
Try to focus your money on specifically the tools you need and look for something in the middle of the price range among available options and you'll be fine.
Is there a big quality difference between that and something like this?

It includes pretty much everything I need and would save me a bit not having to buy everything separately.
You aren't worthless. Hell, the fact that you are even interested in doing things yourself is encouraging. You just need to be patient and scour CL and FB Marketplace for stuff people are practically giving away. Then, tear those things apart and build them into something good. Nobody hates you. You just need to consciously make the decision to wait for the stuff you want. First thing; get either one of those little Nobsound NS-01G chip amps or a stupid cheap old AVR used. That gives you a decent amp to start with. After that, look for cheap speakers you might not actually like, but could tear apart for drivers or crossover parts.
LEARN TO SOLDER. It's absolutely the most important skill you can have if you are serious about DIY and reclaiming stuff. A cheapo soldering iron kit is like $15 bucks on Amazon. This is actually the best deal because you ALSO get a multimeter, which is the OTHER thing you really need to know how to use.
Once you get that, you can tear apart all sorts of electronics and BUILD your own stuff, and save TONS of money through the years, AND learn a valuable skill as well.
Don't get discouraged. I'm sorry if I came across as harsh. It's just frustrating to see a person who obviously cares about getting good audio sort of shoot himself in the foot over and over.
Would this kit be ok?
