Does Earth Have What It Takes to Have Rings?

In popular science fiction, we see habitable Earth-like planets with visible, Saturn-like rings.

In reality, such rings exist only on gas giants, a category where we can find Saturn.

Is it really possible for a planet similar in gravity to Earth to have the kind of gravity needed to create these rings? If no, then what kind of changes would I do to make sure Earth does have them?
