You can paint any cabinet you want any color you want. Seems to be a popular project. Proper preparation and using a paint made for cabinets will help you to make a project that you can be proud of for years to come.
We dispense advice, not hardware. Your local hardware store and Amazon are popular choices.

Yes, you absolutely can. But be prepared for a lot of work. It isn't as easy as renovation shows make it out to be. Here is a basic link. Purchase the best paint you can afford. I prefer stand alone paint stores over big box home improvement and hardware stores. Better products and will last longer.

Here are some links for on line hardware sales. Always order 1 each as a sample before placing entire order. You can not determine quality from a photo.

There are hundreds of stores that sell cabinet hardware, be picky and buy the best quality, this is an every day item, needs to stand up to daily use.
Clean throughly with Crud Clutter lightly sand, apply recommended Primer coat then color coat and for longer lasting finish, follow with a couple of coats of Polyurthene or Floor finish.
I have the same cabinets, at least some of mine are. Start with cleaning and sanding them, removing doors and hardware will make it a little easier. I have side panels exposed on 2 of mine and they appear to be made of something else so I did a light sanding (on 1 spot and none on another) and base coat to see if it would stick and so far so good. Primer paint is still on, ive been giving it time to see if it worked so im not wasting a bunch of time. I purchased rustoleum cabinet paint and it kept peeling and took forever to dry so I tried regular eggshell paint that I had used on walls and it worked great. I also tried spray paint and that held up well too.

When I paint cabinets or furniture that will be distressed, i do the scrub, light sanding, light primer coat, then use a flat paint (or chalk paint), distress, and coat with a wipe on poly. The flat paint sands better than satin, and it's porous so the poly sinks in and forms a hard finish. Always works well for me. Good luck, i think theyll look great lightened up.
Rustoleum has some great cabinet painting kits. They contain everything you need and come in tons of colors. https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/transformations/cabinet-transformations-dark-kit
to me it always seems a shame to paint such lovely wood, is there anything else you can do to modernise the kitchen e.g. back splash, bench tops, new handles or similar.
look into chalk paint by Annie Sloane.
