parking brake adjustment

[CMURDAx]

How do i adjust my parking brake? The light is on on the dash, but the brake is not engaged. ive noticed on certain days my car wont even move without me hitting the gas from a dead stop, and when i let off the gas i start to slow down immediately and quick. anyone else had/have this problem?
