Lighting and normal maps

I have two issues-
1) How exactly do I create a normal map for a 2d image ? Using which software?
2) How exactly do I apply lighting ?
I was trying to play with the Tank blaster airplane, when I apply the normal map and enable lighting I get bit of details but not exactly the kind of lighting I find in the tank buster game demo. (Obviously after saving/running the game in XNA). How do I achieve that lighting effect?
