you can't tune a cymbal once it's already made. the size, the thickness, and the metals that are in it determine the pitch.

Whilst it is not possible to change the pitch of a cymbal, there are a number of ways to alter the tone and feel of it. Try adding a number of quarter sized and centimetre thick blob of blutack/putty to the cymbal, or invest in "Moon Gel" pads. Alternatively, and more drastically, drill holes in the cymbal using a powerdrill (not on hammer setting) and putting loose rivets in the holes to produce a nice sizzle sound.
