It depends on what your native language is (or, if it's English, what your native dialect is). Accents come from different uses of sounds in different languages, so developing an American accent means eliminating the ways you say these different sounds in your native language and saying them how American speakers would. There are lots of resources online for adopting accents: one of my favorites is the voice coach Gareth Jameson's videos at videojug.com.

Would an American or a British English accent be better for a non-English speaker to learn?
It really doesn't matter. Native English speakers (American and English) will be far more impressed if you have a good vocabulary and good use of grammar than if you have perfected a particular accent. As a native English speaker, I tend to assume that people who speak English as a foreign language adopt the accent of their teacher, or of the area that they learnt English in.
How to make your accent sound like American's?
