There's only 3 good ways of cabonating your beer.
For bottles and kegs, you can condition your beer for a 2-3+ week period using several different types of sugars.
Or for kegs you can force carbonate over a one week period using this chart:

Or if you're in a real big hurry, there's a way to force carbonate your keg in just a few hours but it isn't very accurate. All you have to do is:
1. Increase the CO2 pressure in the keg to 30 pounds.
2. Put the keg in a freezer for 2 hours and lower the temperature to 32°F.
3. Shake the tar out of the keg for 15 minutes.
Repeat all three steps for 6 hours. enjoy.

Good luck,
Wild
