If you want to learn an accent then you must listen to it a lot.
Learn how they say their vowels, consanents, mouth formation, stress syllables, and other forms of speech. Try to imitate that, along with adjusting the speed r pitch at which you talk to assume a more "American" tone if at all possible. Learn some common terms or slang that fit in with American culture. If you surround yourself with others who talk with an American accent, soon you will begin to pick it up through constantly hearing it and learning new words or phrases.
Listen to a lot of American English and practice using using it. That's the only way I know to get any accent: listen and practice.
And make sure when you practice that you really pronounce your "R"s.
Watch American TV Watch American films Listen to American radio Listen to American speaking on sites like YouTube Get a CD or DVD or something that helps you improve your American accent Go to America Have conversations with American people Practise speaking with an American accent a lot, at least once a day
There is no such thing as a standard American accent if you're on the East Coast, but truly, move to the US and try to sound like the people are you. Failing that, watch movies made in the US and try to imitate the accents. To sound--to an American--as though you have little to no accent, try for something in the Midwestern states.
One technique which has worked well for some people is to hire a speech coach (ask people who work in drama, radio, television, or cinema for recommendations), a professional therapist for speech and diction (through medical or educational contacts), or an American student who speaks English as a first language.
If all else fails, you're a glutton for punishment, or you just like linguistics, learn to read IPA and check out "Accents of English" by J. C. Wells. It will tell you in excruciating detail exactly how to get each and every phoneme of every word you say to sound like any accent of American English that you want.
Also, be specific. There are different versions of the accent. Americans from Texas might speak differently than Americans from New York. It depends on the region.

Would you learn one of English dialects or GenAm accent if you were non-native Eng.speaker and going to live in USA.Cuz Am. people love brit. accents?
In America, you will be far more easily understood if you learn an American dialect, and you will better understand American speakers. The appeal of learning British English (most commonly Received Pronunciation or "Queen's English," which is the BBC accent or basically Emma Watson's accent) is lessened greatly by the many vocabulary differences that may result in more confusion than help. And a non-native English speaker will have an accent to begin with, so learning English in a different dialect adds another layer of accent that may interfere with people understanding you. It would be more practical to learn American English and later learn the differences in British English to be able to do a British accent after you've reached English proficiency that's applicable in your new home country.
