There really are no adjustments you can make, the MacPhereson struts are pretty much "fixed" in how they're mounted. There is a "kit" available from a company called SPC that replaces a plate at the top of the strut, and allows for Caster/Camber adjustment. The struts need to be removed to install the plates. It's really only necessary if you're "lowering" or altering the front end geometry to an extreme.
If you're having tire wear issues, and alignments don't seem to help (or "hold"), the inner bushings on your forward lower control arms are probably worn out. On your year/model, there are four bolts that hold the lower control arms into the front sub-frame. The 2 bushings lay in the front sub-frame horizontally, facing fore and aft. Once these bushings wear out, toe control of the front wheels is almost impossible to maintain. "Cupping" wear on the inside of the front tires is the usual symptom. The bushing themselves are not individaully replacable, the whole lower control arm needs to be removed and replaced. Complete lower front control arms (that include new bushings, and ball joints) are available for anywhere from $85 to $110 each. Depending on the number of miles on the car, you may want to consider replacing the struts too. Anything over 85K miles or so, is probably in need or strut replacement. Taking it to a tire shop or alignment technician, should be able to help you diagnose what is worn and needs replacing.
Sorry if it comes as "bad news". It could be expensive unless you're reasonably handy with tools. An excellent resource for answers about these cars is: www.contour.org A Ford Contour, and a Mercury Mystique are essentially the same car with minor variations
