          Change the representation of the corresponding counter (section, in this case) by adding to the preamble:



          renewcommandthesection{Roman{section}}


          EDIT: this redefinition will probably require increasing the space allowed for typesetting section numbers in the ToC; this can be done, for example, with the help of the tocloft package by adding the following lines to the preamble:



          usepackage{tocloft} 
          setlength{cftsecnumwidth}{1.5cm}

            Well, you can make thesection do anything you want, so renewcommandthesection{Roman{section}quad} would throw a quad space in. However, if you are realy getting into section styling, it is better to use a package like titlesec or a document class like memoir that really gives you fine control over such things.

          It depends on your packages. Maybe you are loading tocstyle or tocloft. Normally you can redefine l@section. See also @dottedtocline.
