Dunno about CS4, but in CS3 (I presume it works the same way) you go to Edit> Preferences> Guides, Grid, and Slices. There you can set the color, style and grid size.
hth

I tried that, but its not what I need. I need to change the vertical and horizontal separately. Ex, vertical: one every 30 pixels 10 pixels off the top edge, horizontally: one every 10 pixels 0 pixels off the left edge.

oh right
Dunno why you'd need it to be that exact, tbh.
You know you can set the subdivisions, right? They're the thinner lines inside the grid. So, for example, you could set the grid to 30 pixels, and set the subdivision to 3. Then you have the thick grid-lines as the guidelines for the 30 pixels, and the thin lines inside the 30 pixel squares for the 10 pixels.
woo

Alternatively, if you don't think that's works well enough you could make the grid yourself by using the Single Row Marquee Tool to create a horizontal line, and then make another line, of the same length, 30 or 28 or whatever (depending on how big you want the grid to be) pixels below the first line. Then, make another line, only this time vertical. Make it touch the left ends of the other two lines. Make another vertical line, put it 10 or 8 or whatever (again depending on how big you want the grid to be) pixels right from the other vertical line. Now delete the bits of the two horizontal lines that stick over the line you just placed. You should now have a 8 by 28 (...depending on the grid size you want) rectangle. Make sure that the background is transparent, and then select the rectangle. Don't select the the bottom horizontal and the right vertical lines, though. Do it like this:


Now got to Edit> Define Pattern, and call it whatever you wish. Make a new layer, paint-bucket it white, right click the layer and select 'Blending Options'. Set the blend mode to 'Darken'. Then go to 'Pattern Overlay' and choose the Pattern you just made.
done!
oh yeah

Hope that made sense.
