Based on the information you have provided about the particular problem you are having, I'd say take them to the bike shop and pay someone to fix them.
What kind of brake? Is it side pull, center pull, U-Brake, cantilever, linear, hydraulic rim, mechainical disc, hydraulic disc, or drum?

Are your brakes not aligned properly(i.e. - is one pad closer to the rim than the other)? Is there too much slack in the cables? Are they just squealing a lot? Do you have discs? Try to describe the problem a little more.
