I haven't seen a software development rate card recently and I'm not in 
a position to do it myself, but, if you just want simple tweaking of 
existing parameters, I suspect your cheapest option would be the local 
computer repair shop.

Commercial rates for doing that sort of thing over the internet would I 
guess, for remote access from a low wage country, be upwards of USD 10 
per hour, with maybe a minimum of two hours.

If you want source code changed, I would guess you would expect to pay 
about USD 50 (low wage) per hour, with a minimum of half a day.  You 
will only get it down to half a day if the change is very low risk and 
doesn't require significant testing.

You might get charged less if you were considered a deserving cause.

If you want a fixed price, you will need a much tighter specification. 
Fixed price, in technology development, is not an excuse for the buyer 
to avoid responsibility!

Note: the OP appears to be near Montreal, Canada.
