I have a few small trees in my yard ( I think they are lilac trees)
about 10 ft tall. One of them blew over in a storm. It did not snap
off from the trunk, but basically fell over roots and all. The ground
must have been too soggy from days of heavy rain. My question is, can
I just pull the tree back to its upright position and secure until the
ground dries up? What else would I have to do or can I "replant" it?

Yes you can straighten it right up.
