Start from there: www.overblow.com

Then you can search this forum for posts on harp customizing and you'll find plenty of information here. Welcome to the club! :)

Out of the box harmonicas ARE set up to be able to do them.
Customs are not the only harmonicas that can overblow.
Practice more and you will be able to do overblows on out of the box harmonicas the minute you get them.

Out of the Box harps are not universally able to overblow.

I would suggest that the simplest, most basic and most effective way to adjust an OOTB harp is to properly gap it. I suggest these videos:
