The chronology of the Greek myth is often contradictory. But Prometheus and Zeus never got along, so one might assume that the actions of Prometheus were after Zeus had overthrown Cronus.

How do Prometheus and Epimetheus help create mankind?
Prometheus had created humans in the likeness of gods, using the clay and water of Panopeus, and Athena had breathed a living soul into them. To compensate for the lack of great qualities, which had foolishly all been given to the creatures by Epimetheus, the wise Titan made Man stand upright like the gods, to be noble and conscious, and to hold his head high, looking up at the heavens.
Why did Zeus refuse to give Prometheus fire?
Zeus did not refuse. When Prometheus made man, he wanted to bestow upon him a special gift, but his brother, Epimetheus gave all the gifts to the other animals. So, Prometheus, knowing man was special, made him walk upright on two legs, like the gods, and gave him fire to master. Prometheus then taught man about the gods, and helped them prepare their first offering. Favoring man over his cousin, Prometheus made two offerings to Zeus. The first was the best cuts of meat wrapped in an ox's stomach (something nourishing that looks unpleasant) and the beef bones wrapped in fat (something inedible that looks pleasing... keeping in mind that fat was an important part of the diet). Zeus took the latter, setting the precedent for future offerings. OUtraged that he'd been tricked by Prometheus, Zeus took fire away from Man and hid it on Mt. Olympus. Prometheus stole the fire, returned it to man, and paid the price by being chained to a rock and having an eagle eat his liver daily. Mankind paid as well, for Zeus sent Pandora with her box of woe to plague mankind forever.

Her job was not really to make friends. Zeus made Hephaestus create her out of clay and sent her to punish Prometheus with the things in her box. Prometheus felt there was something fishy about this, but his brother Epimetheus married Pandora. They had one daughter Pyrrha. Those were probably her only friends.
