You can't. You need to be able to modify postgresql.conf .

Because nobody has written one for PgAdmin. The EnterpriseDB
configuration assistant is a commercial product that EnterpriseDB are
letting people use for free. Nobody's stepped up to do the incredible
amount of testing and benchmarking required to create a configuraton
assistant for inclusion in PgAdmin.

Such tools are a guide at best; they won't just magically configure your
system perfectly. All databases need a degree of tuning to achieve
optimal performance, and PostgreSQL is no exception.
