Fuses are sized to protect conductors === === == == (LIFE SAFETY WARNING! [disclaimer]

National Electrical Code definition, NFPA 70 2005 Article 100 I: Qualified Person. "One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved."
Changing from a 15 amp fuse to a 20 amp fuse because of load requirements would be over fusing, unless the wire were adequately sized for that current level.
If there is a 15 amp fuse, it is probably because the wire is only rated for 15 amps.
Redistribute the load or run additional circuits.
Improper fuse size will allow overloading of the circuit, with possible conductor damage and fire as a result.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

How do you upgrade from 120V 15A to 120V 20A or from 240V 20A to 240V 30A?
You have to replace the wire (as you are increasing the current capacity), the outlet, and the breaker. Essentially you have to remove the old circuit and put in a new one. You can't reuse parts of the old circuit as you are increasing the current capacity and they would be underrated.
