Cabling is easy enough, indexing the gears can be a bit trickier but there are loads of good youtube tutorials (the Park Tools or GNC ones are usually pretty good).
You can reuse cables if the lengths are right - if they're too long you can cut them, if they're too short you'll have to use new ones. It might be worth getting new ones anyway to learn how to do it from scratch.
I would also recommend getting some proper cable-cutters - I've only just discovered how much better they are than normal cutting pliers. It really is a world of difference.
