Default My Bargain 2ltr AWD, tapping

Ok guys this is my first subaru, its cost me well hardly anything as it needs a little work. My problem is i dont think the engine was looked after and its really tappy, its not piston slap though. So my question is can the lifters be replaced? and quite easily? also what kind of money we looking at for a new set?
