How can I upgrade the java version in a AWS instance to 1.8?

Currently, I have some automation scripts which spins up an instance to do stuff; but it needs java 1.8. The default java version seems to be 1.6. Is there any way in the cloud formation script or instance settings which I can upgrade/set the java version to 1.8?

You will have to create a script that automates the following. Once you start a script update if your having any issues. You will want to save the script in an S3 bucket.
