If you're interested in doing this:

1. Google "POSE Running". The site has lots of information and drills for changing your form to accommodate a mid-foot strike.

2. Consider transitioning by using racing flats instead of immediately going to barefoot/Vibrams. Or get both and run in the flats but do all your walking around in the Vibrams. This will allow you to gradually strengthen your feet, ankles, and calves.

3. Start on grass with short distances, focusing on form.

I'd also reccomend wearing flops as much as possible for your walking around shoes. Midfoot strike is not just a running thing, it's also a walking thing. Flops help this. Barefoot is better, but glass is a bitch.
