You cannot set the port cost manually.

Port Priority

If two paths have the same port cost, the bridges must select a preferred path. In some instances this can involve the use of the port priority parameter. This parameter is used as a tie breaker when two paths have the same cost.

The range for port priority is 0 to 240. As with bridge priority, this range is broken into increments, in this case multiples of 16. Table 8 lists the valid port priority values. The default value is 128, which is increment 8.

Forwarding Delay and Topology Changes

If there is a change in the network topology due to a failure, removal, or addition of any active components, the active topology also changes. This may trigger a change in the state of some blocked ports. However, a change in a port state is not activated immediately.

It might take time for the root bridge to notify all bridges that a topology
