Comment 2 for bug 657560

Not a cheese bug. Cheese is just a recording program, it displays the video output from the webcam. and it can only make software changes.

The webcam settings [FPS, etc..] are controlled by the drivers and how far the webcam driver support has been done for the particular webcam model.

To test, Install package : v4l2ucp
Depending on the level of webcam support , Once installed you will have the options in :
System > Preferences > Video4Linux Control Panel

If you dont have the options the drivers are not yet completed for your webcam.
[this bug report has no information about the webcam model or kernel version, but this just seems like a forum question than a bug report. In future kindly file bugs using $ ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME]
