edit: ok changing a spoke looks easy but I guess my worry is trueing the wheel, never had any luck doing that.
Take the old spoke to get it matched up. A lot of shops have spoke machines to cut and rethread spokes. Put it in the wheel, you might have to take the cassette off, and tighten it with a spoke wrench, (they come on different sizes). Truing the wheel takes practice, but if it was close before the spoke popped you should be able to get it reasonable true just tightening the new spoke.
