Go to a beer distributor if you can't find a paintball store in your area...A beer distributor fills Kegs with the same stuff you need...and beer places are easier to find.

You are not going to be able to fill your CO2 yourself. This needs to be done by someone experienced, who is going to know how to do this safely. There are alot of things that can go wrong with an over-filled tank, and most of them involve a trip to the hospital, so leave that to people who know what they are doing.
As for where to get fills, your best bet is your local paintball field/pro shop, or sporting goods stores which sell paintball gear.
You are probably not going to get a fill from a "beer distributor", because they don't have the fill set-up to hook to your tank(more than likely), nor should they be doing this without knowledge of the equipment.

You cannot fill it yourself unless you rent a fill tank, which is not most economical choice for an individual. Take the CO2 tank to your local paintball specialty shop and they will gladly fill it for a small fee. If you do not have a specialty shop in your area, don't worry, many pawn shops have CO2 fill stations, as do some sporting goods stores.
Also, to get more CO2 in your tank, ask them if they chill the tanks before they fill them, if they dont, ask them to. By chilling the tank, they are able to fit more CO2 into the bottle because gasses contract as they get colder....some people may clame this is not true, but you have my word and its scientifically accurate.

You can go to any sporting goods store that sells paintball guns, or even some Miejers stores have the ability to refill.
