You could always hire an electrician to change a couple, and watch what he/she does, and do the other ones yourself if you feel comfortable.
Call an electrician for your safety and that of a future homeowner. Whole house could need rewiring.
It's an easy job. www.thisoldhouse.com/ideas/replacing-two-prong-receptacles. If the outlets are in the kitchen or bathroom, you will need to install GFI outlets
You can still buy 2 prong plugs or you can install a 3 prong if there is a ground wire or if the if the wiring was done with metal conduit (pipe) or by installing a GFCI plugs lastly a GFIC breaker can be installed at the breaker box to cover a whole circuit
We buy two prong to three prong adapters....come two to a package....not expensive at all.
