Once given top command, press r.
Give PID value of the process you want to change the process value.
Give renice value (from -20 to +19)
Nice value of -20 means highest priority value and +19 means lowest priority value. 0 is by default value.
Don't confuse renice value (-20 to +19) with process value (0 to 39)
relation between nice value and priority is :
PR = NI + 20

In addition to erTugRul’s answer, the renice command exists for this exact function.
renice -5 -p 1234
