Most oil pans are held on with a number of small bolts, 10-18 of them. First you get a pan to drain the waste oil into and a sheet of cardboard or old newspaper to lay under to catch any spills. I then remove all the aforementioned bolts. I find it easiest to do this with a 1/4 or 3/8 drive socket with a 9" extension from a ratchet handle. I remove all except one bolt at each end, then take them off as I support the oilpan with one hand. There will still be a small amount of oil so be careful you don't spill it. I clean the pan and renew the gasket every time, and change the oil filter at this point.
The transmission pan is very similar to remove, except that few of these have drain plugs, so you remove it full of fluid - that can be tricky. In the case of tranny pans I always change the filter and gasket as well.

No, the oil pan has a plug, usually a 9/16" one, that is located on the lowest part of the oil pan. That's where you drain the oil from. There should never be a need to take off your oil pan unless you have much more serious issues than just an oil change.
