Yes, you'll a graphics program (GIMP is freeware, Photoshop is fine too) and you'll need something to convert the textures so FS can recognise them. DXTBmp will do for FS2004-bmp textures, for FSX you may need imagetool if you want to use dds textures.
There are heaps of tutorials available, and you can always ask if you run into problems...

good luck, and have fun!
(for my latest repaint, check the payware screenshots)

I know, but only with mipmaps, which makes my textures all blurry. Imagetool comes from the FS9 or FSX SDK, and is very simple to use, but allows you to save without mipmaps => very sharp textures.

As for getting started, try here: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/flight-simulator-tutorials/646-repainting...
