I have Sib 7.0.2 on Mac (snowleopard). How can I change finetuning from preset 440 to 442 Hz?

There's some interesting information on Temperament here that might help answer you question:

Sibelius has a plugin that lets you adjust the tuning of individual notes, and some third party VSTs (eg Play by EW, for many of their libraries) allow for microtuning as well.

It might be useful to have a 'global' tuning setting in Sibelius as well. Some sequencing software programs (eg Logic) have this, it might come in handy if, for example, you have to combine audiotracks from Sibelius with live recordings of an orchestra that uses a slightly different tuning (eg A4=442 instead of 440 Hz, as is common in some countries in Eastern Europe).

Yes, Would be great to have a master control tuning in Sibelius(from 415 to 495 Hertz, for example, in 1 hertz increments).

Here in Brazil, almost every orchestra and chamber groups uses A4=442 Hz.
