Thought it was covered in the owners manual - have you not got one? Anyway, quick search on youtube and:

Well Homie's and other youtube video's and tutorials on this site show you how to dismantle old and new PCX's and do most maintenance tasks - but older copies of the owners manual can be found on line - such as http://s.productreview.com.au/products/ ... 194468.pdf

I'm pretty sure that the spark plug (not plural, as the PCX has a single cylinder with a single spark plug) can be accessed from the left side of the bike, below a window on the lower foot panel.
Remove the rubber from the foot panel plastic, unscrew the single screw holding the access door, remove the access door, disconnect the ignition cable, and remove the ignition plug. Assembly is reverse. Should not take more than 10 minutes for the first time - but it is significantly less after you get some practice.

Officially inspect/change every 5000 miles, realistically some have not changed them in 15-20,000 - buy a spare, keep the current one if the bike starts and run fine.
