It's a Very Bad Idea (tm) to tamper with this !!!!
Normally it's completely dynamic, and you could as well say that *all*
your *available* memory is candidate to buffer/cache (of course, it is
adjusted whenever processes request memory).
So, better forget it, Linux manages very well without tampering with it.
By the way, this has *nothing* to do with so-called "swap space" on
disk:
under Linux, total memory available to system, equals hardware memory
*plus* swap space.
