The Kia Rios (assuming yours is equipped with rear disc brakes) utilize a system that incorporates the parking brake into the rear calipers. What this means is there really isn't a way to adjust the brake itself, since it is part of your rear service brake. If you really wanted to you could adjust the cable at the parking brake lever. This would more than likely require removing your center console to get to it. The problem is if you over adjust, you will cause constant contact between the rear pads and the disc, causing premature padwear. You really shouldn't ever need to adjust the parking brake, but if your really wanted to, that would be how to do it.

ok first you have to take the wheel off
then you will see the caliper there'
there are to bolts behind that take them out
then take the caliper off dont undo nothing else
take the old pads out
use a caliper to push the cylinder back (its what pushes the brake in)
put the new brakes in the same way they came off
do the bolts up
then pump the brakes
is the cylinder is to hard to push back you will have to realse the pressure buy undoing the bleeder then you will have to bleed them again (but in this case they should move easy

Assuming that youve got drum brakes, they are self adjusting and cany be ajusted and more then they want without frying something, if they are not adjusting properly your self adjusters are probably frozen.
You can get them from kia for 20 bucks a piece and if you do get them unfrozen make sure to check the teeth on them, they are very fine and very commonly strip off, kia call them strut assembly.
