You can change the faces emacs uses to fontify special sections of the code.
E.g. here I've changed the colors:

(set-face-foreground font-lock-comment-face "FireBrick")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-string-face "DarkOrchid")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-keyword-face "DarkGreen")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-function-name-face "Navy")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-variable-name-face "Magenta")
(set-face-foreground font-lock-reference-face
"DarkSlateGray")

Obviously, you'd prefer to use non-color options such as:

(make-face-bold font-lock-function-name-face)

but see make-face-bold-italic and all the other face editing commands
available.
