Can I say "would" instead of "might" in this scenario?

Almost! I would suggest using the word "could" instead of "would". The word "might" in this scenario implies many possibilities. "Would" implies an imagined scenario with certain circumstances. It is limited. The auxiliary verb "could" would be more appropriate than "would" as it indicates many possibilities without limiting circumstances. Ex: I would go on a date if I had something nice to wear. Ex: If I could fly, I could go anywhere I wanted to!
