I've replaced brake light switches without having to drain the entire
system and without making a big mess.

First, place a bunch of rags or paper towels below the switches to catch
any drips then remove most of the fluid from the master cylinder with a
big syringe or something like a turkey baster.  Replace the switches
then, with rags or paper towels around the master cylinder itself,
refill to the proper level.
