I would like to remove it and do something with the ceiling without damaging the surrounding area and put a new light fixture up.

What is a sunshine ceiling?! Photos would help! I assume it may be a boxed fluorescent light fixture.

If a casual look is your style, cover the ceiling and the side walls of the space with tongue and groove boards and paint them either your whole ceiling color or an accent color. Otherwise drywall and trim mouldings for a more formal look. Even wallpaper might work. Check Pinterest for ideas about recessed ceiling ideas. Good luck and goodbye to that out of date light fixture.
