Yeah it is possible to migrate to joomla 2.5, but it is not just 1 click upgrade process. It is really complicated task. Because the 1.0 platform was not built for a seamless integration into later platforms, there are additional steps and processes need to be performed. Some of these steps, such as backing up existing data and bridging functionality gaps can be difficult.

Depending on the size and complexity of the site, it's very likely it would be easier to simply rebuild the site in 2.5. It's highly unlikely that you will be able to upgrade the extensions you are using in 1.0.x to 1.5 much less 2.5 and the template will certainly have to be completely overhauled as well. Unless the site is hundreds of pages, just rebuild it on a fresh install and save yourself the headache.

You must migrate to 1.5 first, and then to 2.5

First follow steps in Migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_Stable to get to 1.5 version, and then follow steps in Migrating_from_Joomla_1.5_to_Joomla_2.5

The procedure is not simple and there is a possibility of failure, in which case you have to manually troubleshoot what happend, so do not test it on a live website, but on a copy, and always backup
