make peach fruit sweeter tasting

Question

Is there anything one can do for peach fruit that is still on the tree in order to make the fruit sweeter tasting? In other words, is the taste of the fruit already fixed by the time the fruit has appeared, or are there methods to enhance or produce better tasting fruit as the fruit grows? I know that if you over water, the fruit can be mealy and tasteless, but does fertilizing control the sugar content at this stage?
