Do you need to replace the brake fluid on a 2006 Toyota Sienna?

The best answer is to ask your local Toyota dealer. The alternative answer would be to screw the cap off your tank in the engine bay that says brake fluid. The fluid on the stick should be a clear light brown. When you touch it the fluid should not be slippery, greasy, or discolored. If there is any sediment in there then change it right away and make sure to clean out the fluid reservoir. Also change your brake fluid every two years and flush out the brake lines for superior maintenance.

If Prius 2007 need a brake fluid change when should it be done and how often?

If, as you say, it needs doing then it should be done as soon as possible. Brake fluid seldom needs changing though it does degenerate over time, mainly by absorbing moisture. The precise detail will be in your manual. The fluid reservoir needs checking topping up occasionally and certainly will require it after a brake pad change.
