Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the BC817?

Yes. The symbol is Transistor_BJT:BC817 and the footprint Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23-3, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the BC817?

SOT23-3, with 3 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

What can replace the BC817?

Parts like it in the library: the JTD78L05CA by JTD, the ESD752DBZ by Texas Instruments, the MG78L05AT3 by Megain and the MCP111-300E/TT by Microchip Technology. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.
