All brakes turn kinetic energy into heat, but you should not touch disk brakes because the oil in your hands will degrade their performance

Depending on the model of Cavalier ( either sport or sedan or whatnot) it may have disk in the front and drum in the back or disk all around. Most cavaliers have disk brakes in the front and drums in the back. Mine does and so do alot of other cavaliers I've seen.
Why aren't hydraulic brakes used for rear wheels when the same is used for the front wheels?
All modern mass-produced cars and light trucks DO have hydraulic brakes on the front and the rear wheels. Heavy trucks generally have air brakes on all the wheels. Maybe you are thinking of cars that have disk brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear? On cars, these are both hydraulically operated using the same hydraulic (brake) fluid. In normal stopping situations, the front brakes do more work than the rear brakes. Maybe 70 or 80% of the braking is done by the front wheels (it depends on where the weight is in the car and how fast you stop). Disk brakes are a somewhat better brake for a car, but drum brakes are a little cheaper to manufacture. So, disk brakes are almost always used on the front wheels where the braking is more important. Drum brakes are used on the back of some cars to save money. Note that performance cars (sports cars) almost always have disk brakes on all of the wheels.

What can cause a burning smell and white smoke to come from the back wheel?
Sounds like the rear caliper or brake piston is not releasing all the way. I would replace this and the rear brakes. It has possibly warped the drum or disk depending on if you have disk brakes or drum in the rear. Good luck.

Can you swap rear drum brakes to rear rotor brakes on my 2001 Ford Focus?
Yes you can! The Focus SVT model comes with rear disk brakes from the factory and the parts from it will work. There's also a kit from Ford Racing that has all the parts needed to make the conversion. It a fairly straightforward swap and can be done in an afternoon. Look on EBay, they have thousands of part for the Ford Focus, including the disk brake kit.
