If you don't have the tools to do it, take it to a luthier. First you have to measure the frets, level them down, then crown them. If you want to know how to do it, see if they'll let you watch and learn.

but if you dont have any luthier's around i suppose get some tools off of StewMac and acouple books or videos. But seriously, if you screw up you'll need to take it to a luthier anyways to get it completely re-fretted.
