Arrow How to change the Language Meta Tag from English to another language

Dear StudioPress Gurus,

I have a website in French using the News Child Theme and I'm trying to change the Language Meta Tag on my website.

In the default StudioPress/Genesis Theme, it looks like this:
HTML Code:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
But I would like to change it to french. I read online that I should modify it to add something like:
HTML Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="FR">
It also says that I should modify the header.php but when I open the header.php in the Genesis folder it says not to do so under any circumstances. (I couldn't figure out either where to add it)

So my questions are:

1- How can I change
HTML Code:
lang="en-US" xml:lang="en-US">
to change it to french?

2- Should I also add the
HTML Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="FR">
meta tag and if so, how?

Thanks a lot in advance for taking the time to read my questions.

Best Regards.
