Yes. But first change sources.list: all occurances of woody or stable
should be changed to sarge or testing. I would say pick sarge in both
cases.

Then:

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade.

Of course it never hurts (read: is highly recommended) to make a
complete backup first...

By all means first take a look at the docs in
/usr/share/doc/Debian/apt-howto/

I think with `completely upgrading' you mean updating all your woody
packages to their latest versions in the woody districution? No,
that's what you get with `apt-get update' and then `apt-get upgrade'.
