What you want to do is called re-nicing.
From man top:
====
INTERACTIVE COMMANDS
Several single-key commands are recognized while top is running. Some
are disabled if the s option has been given on the command line.
...
r Re-nice a process. You will be prompted for the PID of the task,
and the value to nice it to. Entering a positve value will cause
a process to be niced to negative values, and lose priority. If
root is running top, a negative value can be entered, causing a
process to get a higher than normal priority. The default renice
value is 10. This command is not available in secure mode.

For more information, man nice.

I've thought about becoming a defeatist, but I've decided it can't
possibly work.
