    There are already a number of available alerts sounds installed on the phone. Settings app > Notifications > [the app in questions]. Depending on teh app, there may be more than one option, but basically you are looking for a button for "alert", "sound' or something similar.

     

    You can also purchase ring tones via itunes, but need to sync to itunes on a computer to install them (I beleive).

    Some applications allow you to change alerts, some don't. For apps other than the build in ones, check for a settings menu to see if there are options.
