This can be accomplished using a power bleeder, or the old have a friend pump the brakes for you. When you are done with all four wheels using this method, all old brake fluid will have been changed.
On four wheel vehicles you only have on wheel left. Then move to the front on the side you started with. Then go to the opposite side and do the other rear brake. For you peoples across the pond, I suspect your master cylinder is on the right side of the car, so start with the back left. In left hand drive cars (US), start at the bake right. To change the brake fluid, you start by bleeding the brakes at the furthest point away from the master cylinder. These bubbles will compress where the liquid will not, thus reducing the effectiveness of your braking system. As the fluid gets older, it has the propensity to boil easier, which will cause bubbles in your brake lines. This becomes important, because as you use the brakes, the fluid gains temperature due to friction of the brakes and such. Depending on the fluid you are using (usually DOT3 or DOT4), as brake fluid becomes wet, it will boil at a lower temperature. When it gets old and absorbs water, it is in a "wet" state. When fresh fluid is in the system, the fluid is in a dry state. The reason for this is that brake fluid absorbs water over time. Some manufacturers may have something else, so start there first.

I believe normal intervals are either two or three years as your manual says. You should do this as your owner's manual prescribes. The way you do it, all old break fluid will be removed and new fluid in its place. When you replace brake fluid you are "flushing" the system.
