Imagine a piece of string from the bottom of your heels is connected to the crown of your head. Now imagine pulling on the end of the string at your head and stand up taller this way. It takes work for quite some time. However, once your body gets used to it's new posture and your mind gets used to standing upright (and proud) it will become your natural stance.

Posture braces can work really well, they pull your shoulders back and down forcing you to straighten out the hunch. You wear them regularly for a while until you naturally stand that way. The straps can cut into your armpits, so you may want to wear an undershirt under the brace and your regular shirt over it.
You can also practice getting your shoulders to roll back into place by standing with your arms down at your sides; stick your thumbs out like you're hitchhiking and rotate them back 90 degrees so that your palms face forward. Do this throughout the day when standing in line or out walking or whenever until your shoulders start to naturally stay in the rotated back position.

Have you been to the doctor? Is it bad posture (something you can fix) or problem bone structure? It makes a big difference.
Exercise and determination can fix posture -- bone structure will require medical attention.

Practice walking around your place with a book on your head.
You can look in the mirror and see how this changes your stance and see the difference.
