I wouldn't be able to retrain the model as my computer isn't capable enough, but I can change the prompt to change how the model acts. The prompt i'm currently using is:

  "Below is an instruction that describes a task. 
  Write a response that appropritely completes the request." 

That base prompt can be customized to complete specific tasks like classifying text or acting like an assistant.

You have a typo in the prompt: appropriately. I wonder if it makes any difference to the output.

Out of interest - how capable a computer is required to retrain that model?

the project for training i found required a nvidia gpu with 16gb of vram, it also would take about 6 hours
