whoa, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you.
that chain is certainly dirty, and it needs a good cleaning. that rust looks like surface rust, and if it cleans out, i wouldn't worry about it. if it doesnt, the teeth don't look all that bad on the sprockets, so maybe you should just swap a chain on there if you like the way its geared.
typically, you want to change sprockets and chain at the same time though.... you may want to look at some other threads and see what you think

oh, it's really really easy if you have an air compressor. put the bike on a rear stand, loosen the axle nut, and tap the axle out with an extension and a hammer.
make sure you keep the blocks, washer, axle nut, and wheel spacers together (if they come out of the wheel). brace the caliper somehow move the wheel forward, and move the chain to the side. get the wheel out.
break the chain, pull it out.
take the front sprocket cover off.
unbolt the bolt that holds the front sprocket on, put new sprocket on and clean the casing to get the grime off of that area (you'll see what i'm talking about).
then you'll take the cush drive out of the rear wheel. make sure the wheel is on its side and put the cush's (black rubber triangle things) back in the wheel to keep everything together.
then unbolt the sprocket from the cush drive. replace the sprocket.
put the cush drive back into the wheel, get the wheel back into the swing arm, and get everything mounted back up.
take the chain adjustment blocks and move the bolt and nuts to get it more forward. tighten the rear axle, but don't go all the way tight - just snug.
then line up your chain, it should take 108 links. most likely, you'll have a safety clip style master link. make sure there is the right amount of play in the chain, make sure the axle is straight, and then tighten the axle nut all the way up
done.
