How Do I Change Php Values ?

I created a file "php5.ini" and added "upload_max_filesize = 10M" to it and waited approx. 1 hour and then checked mystore.com/phpinfo.php and the values have not changed yet.

I am using php v5.4 in c-panel

Am I doing this right?

It depends on if your server is set up to allow editing php values by account. However, your file should probably be named "php.ini". The changes should show immediately unless you are running php-fpm whereas php-fpm will need to be restarted.

Most probably you should restart the server.
