Real easy. Open /boot/grub/grub.conf with your favourite editor as root. You will have two entries, one for Fedora the other for XP. Notice at the top of the file you will see something like....
default 0
In grub, everything is one number behind. Change the "0" to a "1," save and reboot. You should then boot to XP first.

How do you change the enrty to display Windows XP instead of Other?
Use Dan's instructions to get into the Grub.conf file and change the entry that should look something like;
title other
chainloader +1
to
title Windows XP
chainloader +1
title other
chainloader +1
to
title Windows XP
chainloader +1
