Goto the contact you want to change
On the screen you select either to dial or message press the menu softkey

And you can also edit your music to make ringtones that you save to the Android ringtones that you can use with anything that Android allows notification tones with.
I also recommend Rings Extended. It will allow you to simply set an mp3 as a ringtone. All my previous phones let me have the ability to just choose an mp3 as a ringtone, and I thought it was roundabout that I had to play an mp3 first, then set it as my ringtone. Esp. because I don't want my text ringtone to be the same as my call ringtone.

I have the same menu options as you too! None of the above menu options appear for me and none in any forum for how you do this exist on my phone!!! Super super frustrating! I've had this phone since March and still can't figure out how to do this. There must be a way! Do you have the Droid 2 global? Maybe that's the problem? That's what I have.
