OSPF metric is cost. You can alter the cost of any link by the interface
command ip ospf cost ###. The higher the cost, the worse the metric.

Are you asking about why you would want to do this? Maybe you have an
established OSPF network and one of the stub areas you configured then
needed to connect to a business partner using a non-OSPF protocol. You
could then use an NSSA to solve this.
