Sounds rather like a native Cajun/Creole French speaker, e.g. "I make the market me" instead of "I'm going shopping".
I wouldn't use "perform" at all and "configure" is using a big word when a small word will do.
"Set the setting" is awkward but if the context was about "the setting" then "set it" would be good.
"Change the setting" is probably best IMO, but there are lots of good alternatives especially if you don't have to use the word "setting", e.g. set the option.
