The only way to do it at home would be to disconnect the transmission fluid return hose, start the engine, and add new clean fluid as the old fluid is being pushed out of the return hose. Once the fluid out of the return hose is a nice red color, shut off the engine. Reconnect the hose and add fluid as needed.
I recently changed my transmission filter and just the fluid that I lost during the filter swap. If you change it out every 20-25k miles I sure thats all you need to do. It just seems like a pain to do it as I described above.
