There are two screws that hold the handle in the door. You have to remove the inside trim and the weather deflector before you can get to these screws. Once you are in there, disconnect the two rods from the door (one for the handle and one for the lock) and then remove the two screws. The handle will then be free to remove from the outside. You will then need a screw driver to pry the lock cylinder retaining clip from the door handle assembly. Once the clip is removed, the lock cylinder should slide out.

The rods usually have little plastic clips on the end which must be pried away from the rod and then you will be able to remove the rod.

As far as the other screw, I do not have a door to look at... The last time I replaced a door handle (broke due to ice/cold and an impatient owner), I used a small ratchet with screw driver bit inserts. This tool has become so handy. Came with torx, phillips, and other special bits to use in it.
