Let's say with a slender length of tubing.
I overfilled mine recently and it started leaking so I had to drain some out.

Easiest way is to put a pan under the car and then undo the drain plug but hold it in place with your fingers so that there is only a small gap for the fluid to trickle through. Screw it back in when enough has drained out. You'll get fluid all over your hand, so don't do it when the transmission is hot.
