I would just hire a group of battle hardened, former special op mercenaries like (now defunct) Executive Outcomes. From the documentary I saw about them few years back, they were far more effective than UN forces when they dealt with rebel forces in Sierra Leon, AND at a much lower cost.
So they'd go in a dictatorship country, like North Korea, and just off the top members of the government there. I would have to pay them very handsomely so they'd keep my identity a secret should they be caught. The special ops group would need fake government documents, basically OK-ing the operations. It'd be the Chinese...because they're tired of North Koreans slipping into their border. Their rationale for the operation is to create a better North Korea so its citizens would actually want to stay, thereby not further adding to the already tremendous population problem. Yeahhhhh.
I'd also hire a group of media/advertisement/communication consultants to show the North Koreans information, images, news, and entertainment from the outside world to see what they're missing. They will know the meaning of Democracy, and what's it's like to go a day on a FULL stomach. Once they realize they've been screwed over for the past several decades by the Kim family and cronies, they'll support special ops and we can use guerrilla warfare tactics to fight the government. The media consultants will also be responsible for creating propaganda to recruit *North Korean soldiers* and civilians to join my side. All of this will be somewhat difficult since we're talking about undoing decades worth of brainwashing. But we will be relentless with our slogans and images of busty babes in bikinis spreading the news of Democracy, prosperity, liberty, equality, and their arms and legs, hugging and embracing the North Koreans. Brainwashed they may be, but I'm willing to bet good money that biology will trump being brainwashed (I could be wrong though, but let's not be so technical). They will ogle...and ogle they shall. Because, let's face it, the most exciting thing that happened to North Korea in recent years is Bill Clinton's visit. I have to make things exciting and engaging for them.
So once I get the government to be in a state of suspicion and vulnerability, and the people on my side, revolution is inevitable. Once my force is victorious. I will emerge as the man behind the plan. The Chinese will probably be pissed at me for using them as a scapegoat but there's nothing that a few parcel of unused land, and some acknowledgment that Chinese civilization is superior to Korean civilization won't fix. So once everything is settled down, I'll be facing a tough choice of weather to hold democratic elections, or be a benevolent dictator....that is...as long as you don't speak out against me.
