Increasing the Amperage of a Circuit Breaker?

Would changing a 15 amp circuit breaker to a 20 or 30 make it stronger?

I am no electrician, by any means, but I do know that the purpose for the breaker is to trip the breaker if you overload the circuit. To circumvent this, could cause an electrical fire. If the circuit is supposed to have only a 15 amp breaker, it would be extremely dangerous to replace it with anything higher than a 15 amp.
