\setlength{\textfloatsep}{0.5cm}   % as an example
\setlength{\dbltextfloatsep}{0.5cm}   % same for twocolumn-mode

example for the article.cls. look at the specific class-files for
section, subsection,... the definitions are always similar to this
one of section.

in latex preamble

\def\mySpaceUnder{4cm}  % 4cm as an example
\def\mySpaceOver{3cm}   % 3cm as an example
\renewcommand\section{\@startsection {section}{1}{\z@}%
                                   {\mySpaceOver \@plus -1ex \@minus
-.2ex}%
                                   {\mySpaceUnder \@plus.2ex}%
                                   {\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}
