I am refinishing a cabinet and I'm down to the wood and it has been stained, and the stain is real dark. Is there any way to remove the stain and get it light again?

Sometimes you can lighten the wood with a 2 part bleach - look for that description at your home center or paint store. Notice I said 'sometimes'. Whether it works or not depends on the wood as well as the stain itself.
Sanding always works, but be careful if you're sanding veneer.
