A lot of what you want to do is built into Kicad with the pad editing system.
If you select a pad change the size and shape to what you want. If you then reedit and select global Pad settings you can then change all the pads in a module with the Change Module button, or you can change all the pads of all the modules with the same ID type by using the Change ID Modules button.
