So the question is, Can you use regular table sugar.
Yes
2/3 cup for 5 gallon.
Some may say you have to weigh it.

You have a few different options, Try searching for priming calculators and ingredients.

I've never used priming sugar. Always DME.

Interresting.
Will the DME at priming change something (taste).
I read somewhere that it was not recommanded to use DME.

I would fire him. 
You may have to slightly change the amount used, but yes, sucrose works just fine. I'd recommend using a calculator anyway. Most allow you to select either sucrose or dextrose. DME works, but you have to have a good idea as to how fermentable it is, and calculate from there. Most product spec sheets tell you how fermentable an extract is.
