With a wrench set! Well actually it is simple, first remove the air cleaner assembly and battery, then unplug all the sensors, drain radiator and remove hoses, remove all vacuum lines tie the ac compressor out of the way remove it and the PS pump from the block, then unbolt the exhaust manifold and unbolt the two bolts that secure the oil pan to the exhaust downpipe, remove the starter, then loosten all the bolts securing the oil pan to the transmission, remove the torque converter bolts (if AT) loosten the bolts securing the engine to the transmission, with the engine hoist supporting the engine weight remove the engine mount, if it is an automatic make sure you separate the engine from the torque converter.

It is not really that hard or complicated, just requires patience if you are unfamilar with the procedures it may be helpful for you to review the procedures in a chilton or hanes manual, if none are available check the procedures for a Mazda Protege, kia sephia, or a Ford Escort GT since all these cars and your kia Rio use the Mazda BG designed engine

TO ADD TO THIS: If you have to ask here, i would recommend you NOT take on this task unless you have an experienced mechanic available.
