The good sound on a Trumpet usually comes with practice. You need to patient with yourself. While learning to read music, you can play bugle calls. Your facial and core (diaphragm, abs, ribs) muscles need to develop strength and control. It's usually not the trumpet. Some things that can make it sound poorly are, saliva buildup, drain through the levers at the end of the bends, and sticky valves, make sure they are lubricated and move freely.

∙ 13y agosome times what happens is the screw on top that holds it on is loose and that just needs to be tightened. what also could be happening is that there's build up of crap(not sure what it is but i hate it) that won't let it go in all the way. you fix this by taking out the valves and cleaning the whole trumpet with water. also you could have stripped the screws that hold it on in which case you need to send it to a Instrument Repair shop to get it fixed or just get a new trumpet. if your valve is in but when you press it and blow there's no sound you need to rotate the valve so the holes in the valve line up with the pipe openings.
