There is a 14 mm bolt on back of caliper. Remove this & use a 4 mm Allen wrench to back piston into caliper.
You will need special brake caliper tool such as a C-clamp to push back the piston on the caliper of a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer.
There is a specialty tool for this procedure. There is a metal plate that fits on the piston, then a clamp for the back of the caliper. Turning a screw will pull in the caliper. Opening the bleeder valve may be necessary.

if it is the caliper at the rear u need the special tool to turn the piston clockwise to push in and counterclockwise to pull out
In most cases, no, however if you are having issues getting the piston into the caliper, it may be seized, or it may be a turn in caliper.
The rear brakes you need a 3/8 standard wrench to open two bolts retaining the caliper. The piston caliper requires a special tool to "wind " it or screw it back in order to install the new brake pads. DO NOT PRESS THE CALIPER PISTON BACK. You have to "screw" or rotate it.

They need to be wound back in, using a special tool, a G-clamp also work to push it back, with the rotating part on the caliper piston.
center the piston cup with a Clamp and turn back slow until the cup set back in place
You will need to push the caliper piston back as well as rotated when you are replacing your rear brake pads. The caliper will need to be turned clockwise.
it screws back in....special tool helpful
Use a screwdriver to lever piston back (between caliper and front of piston). remove caliper, usually two bolts, remove pads from caliper, fit new ones same way. re-fit caliper.
