They're both doable using public transportation, with JFK-LGA being a lot easier (and cheaper) than JFK-EWR.
JFK-LGA involves taking the AirTrain, subway E line to Jackson Heights, and the Q70 bus to LGA. One hour sounds realistic, but when using any MTA service you should always plan for double the normal time.
I think the best option to go to EWR from JFK would be taking the AirTrain to Jamaica, LIRR to Penn Station, Amtrak or NJ Transit to the Newark airport station, and then the EWR AirTrain. Plan for at least an hour and a half.
