Can the clutch and pressure plate be changed without removing the engine! What would a reasonable cost be for the job!

You will need to seperate the engine and gearbox to fit a new clutch and pressure plate one will need to be removed and the engine is easiest.

They are actually a bit of a pain to get the gearbox out, the rear mount is a bit tricky. I would still remove the gearbox as opposed to the motor however, unless you're due a cambelt in which case yank motor and box out and do it on the ground.
Reasonable cost! Hmm been a few years since I've done one, think it was about 5 hours from memory, with a muck around in the middle cleaning out the bellhousing. clutch will probably be around $200, labour - whatever the going rate is

Thanks for your replies, I was asking the question for a mate's car. I was wondering if I could do it for him but it sounds like a bit of a production for my limited resources, whereas it would be fairly straightforward for a well set up workshop.

Gearbox out/moved aside every time on a hoist, heaps of space on them I probably wouldn't even pull the drive shafts out the box. 3 hours would be tops.
