At the moment I have my gear changers on my handlebars. Can I change these for sti changers?

Assuming the rear mech is not an ancient pre-index one you need STI's of the same speed and the same make as the bar ends and it will be fine.

depends on how much you want to spend, new shifters+ cables are not going to leave much change from £90 (ish ) new .
I think you can use 8 speed as the spacing is close enough with an extra click unused .
Might be worth considering selling your bike and getting a second hand bike with sti ?
