Recording piano music

[Lilikoi Juice]

I'm thinking about doing a song cover-montage-commentary-vlog-gameplay video. I know that sounds like a lot but I like to experiment with different types of things.
The problem is that I don't have optimal equipment to record my music. I have a Yamaha PSR-290, an older model, and the sound quality is okay in person but I really want the grand piano sound when I actually add it to the video. Are there any softwares available that I can use to alter the original sound of recording?

EDIT: I'm on google at the moment trying to figure out if Audacity has such a feature.

You can try Cakewalk Music Creator which is relatively user friendly, or you can try Adobe Audition. I guess it really all depends on your experiecnce with audio editing.

Great! I'm a complete beginner with audio editing but I'll check those two programs out, thank you!

This may sound rude, but if a keyboard could dish out a grand piano sound, grand piano's wouldn't exist anymore.

What you can do is edit the audio a bit, maybe add some reverb to give that grand concert hall kind of mild echo and so on. The biggest impact on the type of sound will be what kind of sample the keyboard dishes out and what kind of quality you're recording at (microphone or MIDI) etc.

Oh I definitely agree... Oh how I'd love to have a grand. One day--one day. The pianos now days (not mine) with grand samples are pretty impressive though. If I owned one of those I'd consider going straight microphone, but no. I will be recording and making a MIDI. The grand piano sound I wanted would be an edited version of that MIDI.
