You could try out these:
Flatten Script https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48944&highlight=flatten+script
and Flatten Faces Mesh Tool 1.0 http://members.iinet.net.au/~cpbarton/ideasman/

In edit mode, select all vertex and change the size with s Key on the z direction (hit z).

You may change the shape for instance usinge ctrl+shift+s and than use mouse, same with shift+p, warp tool is nice too, use shift+w, always in edit mode.

Have fun.
