If you still like the wood, you could strip the old finish off and give them a lighter one. Another option would be to white-wash them.
Yes! You can bleach them or pickle them for a really beautiful finish. I would ask the pros at your home improvement store for suggestions of materials and chemicals.
They would need to be stripped and sanded down to raw wood. Then you can stain them a lighter color.
There usually is no way to lighten stained cabinets. You could sand them down a bunch then just use a spray laquer.
you have to strip the existing finish ,sand,clean,and re-stain
