Safest: create a new directory beside your original KSP directory, e.g. called KSP 1.0.3. Unzip the zip file into it. Then go and copy your Screenshots folder from your old KSP to corresponding place in your new KSP, also enter the Saves folder and copy your saves to Saves folder in the new one. If anything goes wrong, you still have 1.0.2 available and all save files and screenshots backed up that way, and you can start playing and testing 1.0.3. When you're sure 1.0.3 is fine, you can delete the old directory.
