looking at some pictures of this model, most appear to be using an "Aheadset" style handlebar stem, there is not any way to raise this type of stem. Your alternative is to go online or to a local bike shop and purchase a new stem that will fit your fork and handlebar that has a higher pitch angle to it, or a compatible adjustable stem that pivots. Expect to pay $25-$50 or more for a new handlebar stem, not including labor to install.
That depends on what sort of headset you have. the most common these days is a straight fork with a clamping stem that retains the fork, keeps the steering bearings properly loaded and that the handlebars attach to. You can get some that allow you to change the height, but if yours if fixed then likely the only thing you can do without parts is to flip the quill over. Depending on the stem you have and how it is currently mounted this might not gain you any height. As you can see from the picture, in this case flipping the stem over will lower the handlebars
An adjustable unit allows you to change the height of handlebars to suit your size.
Getting Riser Bars or simply flipping the stem over or getting one with a different rise and reach might give you the added height you need. If you LIKE the handlebars, the stem is the best option as most new ones come with front loaders (detachable front caps) that allow replacement without stripping components off one side of the handlebar. In minutes a Bicycle Shop could swap any number of them onto your bike for you to try.

I would recommend you get used to the position that yields a careful compromise between aerodynamics and uprightness when needed.
Most bikes use an allen key to adjust the height of the handle bars. Typically 6mm. But be careful most bikes do not have much adjustment that can be done to the height of the handle bars. The handle bar stem will have a line on it of the "minimum insertion". That line must be below the top of the head set nut for safety reasons. Look for the line as you adjust the height.
