I haven't seen this particular vehicle but there is a drain plug on all Subaru automatics. Transmission has a flat pan with a drain plug on the driver's side under the car just about as far back as the driver's feet. Just like changing engine oil, you pull the plug and drain everything that runs out, should be around 4 quarts. Refill with fresh Dexron III and recycle the old fluid. Buy one of those funnels with a hose on it when you buy the transmission fluid. This doesn't change all of the Transmission Fluid, but it is enough to put in some fresh seal conditioners and remove some of the fine particles caused by wear. Dipstick/filler is back near the firewall in the engine compartment on the driver's side and it is down low under some hoses. Yellow handle. Be careful to not overfill and change fluid every year for longest transmission life.

What is the recommended mileage to cover after which one has to change ATF filter and transmission fluid for Subaru Forester?
There is no mileage where one "has" to change the transmission fluid or filter. It is your car and you can do with it as you wish. The warranty manual for my 2000 Forester recommends changing the fluid every 15,000 miles when used under severe conditions. I recommend changing ATF yearly and you shouldn't need to change the filter unless it has been damaged. It is as easy as changing the engine oil, so why not do a little preventive maintenance? --Ken
