You normally don't want to modify directly those values, even more if they come from a prefab you have already setup with the correct coords, if you just want to add it correctly under canvas (or other) but it "changes position" do this:

GameObject instance;

void Start () {
    GameObject canvas = GameObject.Find ("Canvas");
    if (canvas != null) {
        GameObject go = Resources.Load("MyPrefab");
        if(go != null){
            instance = Instantiate(go);
            instance.GetComponent().SetParent(canvas.GetComponent(), false);
        }
    }
}

Passing false on set parent will avoid the rect transform being changed in weird forms when instantiating the prefab.
