No, you have to remove the forks from the bike. Open the top nut, and with 2 spanners remove the spring. Drain the oil but, at this stage the oil don't come out completly. You have to pump the inner cartridge and drain the oil, repeat this operation until you fil no stroke from the cartridge. Then the oil is completly drained.
forks
Lucky, if you are doing the fork oil, save yourself some time and money and replace the seals aswell. And it would also be wise to replace the dust caps with CRF450 ones. They are 1mm smaller and will not leak. I have had mine in for 15 months now and still no leaks.

undo the top nut and the bottom nut slightly WITH the forks in the bike! it will not leak if all you do is loosen a 1/3 turn.
when you get the forks out you can do everything yourself without special tools.
to pull the forks apart you have to slam them hard and trust yourself that you're doing it right.
to push the new seals in, cut an old seal once and then with the new seal placed ready to go in: wrap the old seal around the leg and using a rubber hammer whack the old seal until it is also 'in' the fork leg all the way around. then get a screwdriver and prise the old one out at the cut you made.
it's fairly easy, you just have to 'back yourself' when it comes to pulling the leg apart.
go into 'the doc' and you'll find tons of info in the fork part.
