Donnchadh already explained these things, but here's my 5 cents:
Easiest things you could/should always adjust:
-tire pressures. Do a couple of hard laps, you wanna have your pressures "on the green" after that.
-Brake power: If you lock up a lot, consider reducing the power. It only means you need to press brake more to lock up.
-Brake balance: in brief, move the balance forwards until you stop sliding your rear on hard brakings too much. A little goes a long way here.
-Aero/wings: try to find a balance that you can take corners easy but too much is costly on the straight line speed. Generally you wanna adjust both front and rear, as more wing in the front needs more wing in the back for balance. If the ratio is not right, you get too much oversteer and slippy rear, or too much understeer.
-ABS is not usually very important, maximum (= value 1) is mostly fine. try reducing if you want the car to turn in better on braking.
-Traction control: Some cars manage corners a lot better if you allow a little bit of slipping. Value 1 usually means understeering car when on throttle. Experiment!
-Differential is worth experimenting with if you have trouble spinning the (RWD) car on corner exits.
