Kilograms are mass units, Joules are energy units. You could use Einstein's energy-mass equivalence and multiply the mass (in kg) by the speed of light (in m/s) squared; that would give you the energy equivalent in Joules of a given mass.

To convert kilograms to joules, you need to use Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2, where E is the energy in joules, m is the mass in kilograms, and c is the speed of light (approximately 3 x 10^8 m/s). Simply multiply the mass in kilograms by the speed of light squared to find the energy in joules.
