Answer 1

You can try watching television and study the way other people speak.

You can also try to read a book or a magazine out loud or maybe record yourself when you speak so you'll know what's wrong with the way you talk.

Answer 2

I agree with the other answerer about methods of learning to speak with another accent. BUT, no accent is theoretically inferior nor superior to another! And, changing one's accent is just like changing his/her origin (sorry to use this analogy, but in a way, it quite resembles changing one's parents). Try to have more self esteem, and respect your origins. Sorry for giving "grandmotherly pieces of advice :).
