Raquel: This is a super easy and inexpensive way to update your kitchen!
Take doors off... including hardware and hinges (to paint over them - amateur job.) Label where doors go back.
Clean/degrease. PRIME! ...this is so important. Then: two coats of a GOOD latex paint.
Treat your cabinets gently for about a month -- while the paint cures.
ENJOY!
Absolutely. THis is a very common DIY project. There are makeover kits that make it easy or just sand and buy quality cabinet paint.

I would try painting them with chalk or milk paint. Those paints are designed for repainting cabinets and furniture. You only need to lightly sand, then clean the cabinets before painting. You only need to minimally scuff up tne surface to make the paint adhere. My cabinets are wood, but I used milk paint on them: http://momhomeguide.com/my-painted-kitchen-cabinets-a-year-later/
Take one of the cabinet doors to the paint dept. of your home improvement store and ask for their advice on materials and application methods.
I have done this several times. CLEAN throughly. Use a product like TSP and then lightly sand. Use a really good primer. Its key. Then paint and enjoy!
I used a kit from Rustoleum called Cabinet Transformations to paint ours. You can see how I did it easily here: https://www.flippingtheflip.com/2015/09/kitchen-cabinets-black.html?m=1
