How do you change the gear ratio on a fixed gear?

I just got a fixie off of Bikesdirect.com

It is currently a 48/16 but I skid a lot and don't want to damage my rear tire as quick.

I want it to be 48/17,how do i do that?How do you change the gear ratio on a fixed gear?
You need a gear with 17 teeth instead of 16.How do you change the gear ratio on a fixed gear?
You have two sprockets with a chain between. If you change either one or both, it could change the ratio.
