We're not terraforming Mars. We'll get colonies there, though, if civilization doesn't crumble in the next decades.

Robots? Actually, maybe that's not a good idea.Yes. to work on the fields to grow crops. how else we going to feed the rich?
Probably when it's too late, messily and badly, and it will probably fail.

A bit cynical, perhaps, but the acclaimed board game terraforming Mars actually has some thoughtful science behind it. And yes, you play as mega corporations dividing up the planet.
Granted, it makes things sound a bit more cooperative(which it probably is: no single company or country will become powerful enough to do it by themselves), but you can bet the huge investments needed for it will draw the first borders on the planet.
The board game is of course an abstraction of the idea, but it's more realistic than just throwing things at the wall. After all, science fiction started out as an honest way to predict the future based on technological advancements.
And of course there'll be peasants. Best you can hope for is that it's not worth the first generation.

Just because we will be sharing a room doesn't mean I have changed my mind about sharing @Flame with you
Yes and avoid the shitty 2012 remake
They will make mars a penal colony and send poor blokes there to mine spice while they enjoy their extravagant vacations in tropical Greenland
