you lower the 3rd step by a 1/2 step to make a minor scale. Or  at least thats what I think. I don't remember everything my band director said about it. :D

A) You lower the third a half step. You don't really do anything with the fifth unless you wanna make a weird tritone sound in the scale. That'd be really dissonant!
