Mood is the overall atmosphere or emotional content of your story - you create that by using emotion when you write. You can also "set" a mood by creating a setting that amplifies or reflects the emotion you're trying for. Another way is to use symbols that reflect the mood.
Tone is the way you write - your choice of words and the attitude you project in your work. That's going to depend on what sort of tone you want to set. For example, an academic tone would use lots of big words and passive sentences, while a sarcastic tone would use biting humor.
