Default You can use a quarter, your key, the wrench in the trunk (I used that) to get the cap off

It just spins/screws off.

Default If you want to add some, just open the reservior and dump it in.

If you want to actually change it, that's a more involved procedure. There is no "drain" per se, but you can easily pull the hose off the bottom of the power steering pump underneath the car and the fluid in the reservoir will drain out.

However, you will still have some fluid in the lines and the steering rack. It is a little more involved to flush that out.
