I have a 2007 Lift Back Yaris. How do I remove my rear drum brakes?

Why? To paint 'em up? If you have under 50K miles they will be fine - maybe some dust in there.

first find a jack
place jack under car at one of the rear jack points
find lug nut wrench
loosen 4 wheel nuts on said wheel, slightly
turn crank on jack clock wise untill tire is off of the ground
remove loosened wheel nuts (if you did not loosen them enough apply parking break)
remove wheel from car
if parking break was applied, release it
pull on drum with even pressure, it should slide off easily
if it does not slide off easily try tapping with a hammer between studs and try to slide off again
