Default Gearbox question 106GTi

I have been doing loads of motorway miles recently and at 85-90mph it sits at about 4300ish rpm and the noise can get to you after doing about 600miles a week. So not knowing much about gearboxs and how they work is it possible to change the 5th Gear to like one with a taller gear ? I know It will lose accleration in 5th but 1st-4th gets you to silly speeds anyway.

So what can be done ?

Thanks
