If you've installed ROS Kinetic using the binary debian distribution, then the sources are not installed. Only the binaries (ie: the nodes) and any other related artefacts (launch files, urdf/xacros, etc). What is installed is down to the developers btw: they have to include CMake install(..) directives in their CMakeLists.txt for whatever they want to be included in the binary distribution(s).
Retrieving the sources for a particular package is relatively easy, using apt-get source $pkg_name. You have update your apt configuration slightly though.
See "apt-get source" for packages.ros.org? for how to do this.
