If you're working on the brake system you should have a manual. I can't stress that enough when you're not familiar enough to do it without asking questions. Asking is good, but not all of the responses are always correct and the brake system is much to important.
First, suck all of the fluid out of the master cylinder. Then refill with fresh fluid. That way the fluid now going through the system is clean. It doesn't make sense to push the old/dirty/contaminated fluid all the way through the brake system.
After you install your new hoses let the brakes gravity bleed for a while. Gravity bleeding is not effective to completely bleed the system but sure does save some work.
I've used synthetic brake fluid for years and have never had any problems. Most (I believe all) are compatible with regular fluid. Check the container to be sure.
