Dear friend:
  The reason that you can't change it's y ticks from {-1,0,1} to
{-2,0,2} is that you exceed the range you plot . So , we have to
broaden the plot range if you want to use the ticks {-2,0,2}.    i.e.
 
Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}, Frame -> True, 
  FrameTicks -> {{0, Pi/2, Pi, 3 Pi/2, 2Pi}, {-2, 0, 2}}, 
  PlotRange -> {-2, 2}]
 
This is the key to the problem . I hope this helps you.  
                                                          bryan
sincerely
