as a url in your favorite browser should open the reference manual on your machine. There is a step-by-step in chapter 15 (8.0) and chapter 16 (8.1) on compiling the kernel. If you want to customize the one already there, follow the text skipping the download instructions and jumping to /usr/src/linux. BE really careful to assign a different build number to the vmlinuz product and the /lib/modules entry so you don't trample what you already have--once you are done, both should be bootable and in fact you should be able to use Control Center to make a boot configuration for your kernel.
