You need to provide more details.  There is no one way to change the
configuration of a DNS server.  Different servers have different features
and different interfaces.  A start would be to specify which DNS server
software needs to be reconfigured.  You might also want to include an example
of what kind of change you want to make.  For example, do you want to add
and delete records?  Do you want to change the address of associated with
an existing A record?  Are all your changes in a single zone?  etc.
