Since you had to ask about it on here would indicate a limited electrical knowledge and it would be a lot safer for you to just hire an electrician. It's an easy task but does require a small amount of experience with this type of wiring. Switch really needs to be changed also to allow the fan and light to be controlled independently with speed control and dimming of the light at the switch if you like. Pikes could do it all for you.
