Welcome ... haven't heard of anyone recently who had to replace oil pan - me, never - at least not on a Focus ... you'll want to raise the car (safely) - level preferably, but if not be prepared for some residual oil leakage ... you should have no trouble even with simple hand tools ... make sure you're prepared to deal with removing and disposing of the old oil and make sure you have a replacement gasket and oil on hand.
When asking for assistance with a repair it's usually a lot better if you mention the year, make and model of your car - although in this case it probably doesn't matter.
cheers
