We need to know what kind of headset you have. Also, how long has it been loose? If it's been rattling around for some time, the bearings may be shot.
Old-style headsets require a special wrench to adjust the top adjustable bearing cup, and another to tighten the lockring. Modern "Aheadset" types use an allen wrench.

well i hope you dont have an integraated headset. If they are loose you just need to tighten down on it, try reading Parks guide for headsets:
