Do you mean that you want to change the pitch of a song?
If so you can either use the "Change Speed" effect or the "Change Pitch" effect - both are in the "Effect" menu.
The "Change Speed" effect will change both the pitch and the tempo.
The "Change Pitch" effect will keep the tempo the same, but there will be some sound quality loss due to the "stretching" of the audio.
