My new yum.repos file (After much stress)

[root at reddwarf yum.repos.d]# ls
atrpms.repo  fedora-development.repo    fedora-updates-testing.repo  
local-base         local-updates
crontab      Fedora-install-media.repo  freshrpms.repo               
local-devel        local-updates-testing
dag.repo     fedora.repo                home.repo                    
local-extra-devel  nr.repo
dries.repo   fedora-updates.repo        livna.repo                   
local-extras       old-repos
[root at reddwarf yum.repos.d]#

How do I set Selinux from one setting to another.
