Basically, you push the pedal, which pushes fluid through a line into the caliper. The caliper has a couple cylinders in it. The cylinders get pushed out of the caliper when the fluid gets pushed into them. The cylinders push the pad agains the rotor, which is basically a disc attached to your wheel that rotates with the wheel. The friction between the pad and the rotor is what slows the vehicle. With drum brakes, the same idea except the pads are called shoes and they push agains the inside of the drum, which basically looks like a bowl, again, they rotate with the wheel and the friction slows you down.
