Disc pads and brake shoes should be changed when almost down to the metal. In the case of disc pads it only takes 15 minutes to check, just remove wheel and look in the gap at how much wear is left. Your should do this at least twice a year.

There is no 'set' answer for this question. Be aware that there are built-in warning devices on the brakes. When the pads are low you will begin hear a screeching sound whenever you apply the brakes. When you start hearing that sound consistently - it is time.
