Default Bleeding/replacing brake fluid

Hi,
My brake fluid is really dirty and the brakes are still working but require a lot more travel to get them to bite, the pads and rotors are still good, had them done 6 months ago so I reckon its just the fluid has got old and crappy

Can I just suck out the fluid in the master cylinder, and replace it with new stuff? Or do I actually have to bleed the whole system? If I sucked it out and put new stuff in, will I get any air bubbles in the lines? Dont know anything about them really.

Also, is there a special type of fluid I need? Or will any from supercheap be ok?
