I suppose the first way is at the \documentclass level. Of course, that
sets it globally. What Peter D referred to is also an option, i.e.,
\fontsize{XXpt}{XXpt}\selectfont
where the first argument is the point size of the font and the second
argument is the baseline skip.

I use the memoir class, where section heads can be formatted to suit
your needs via something like:
\setsecheadstyle{\raggedright\scshape\MakeLowercase}
\setbeforesecskip{-\onelineskip}
\setaftersecskip{\onelineskip}
This example is from memman.pdf page 235. I'm sure that, just as the
physician once told me: "there are at least 6 ways to take out a gall
bladder," there are at least as many ways to modify section headings. (I
can't seem to find the secsty on TL2008 ... maybe it's old?)
Hope that helps.
