Can I move stadium walls?

We all know Safeco Field is a pitchers park. My offense is or will be in the future with the prospects I have be made up of some pretty good long ball hitters. Therefore I am wondering if I can move the walls in at all? From inside the game I'm not seeing an option for this but I may be over looking it.

Left Line 331
Left Field 360
Left Center 378
Center Field 401
Right Center 381
Right Field 362
Right Line 326

I'm not talking drastic changes but maybe move everything in 10 or 15 feet.

I think you need to look at the park factors rather than the wall distances - they are cosmetic in game only

You have to be in Commissioner mode (manager menu --> team control settings). Once you have that enabled, an option to edit the ballpark will appear on the team settings screen.

You can update dimensions, park factors, weather, ballpark pictures, etc. But as iggyhood notes, the park factors are the thing that actually influences results, not the dimensions. So for example, if you move all your fences out 100 feet and don't touch the park factors, you'll still get the same number of home runs, they'll all just be 500-footers.
