[R] How to try different effect sizes for Fisher's exact test?

I am currently working on a simulation, and I would like to see what happens with various effect sizes. How would I test out different effect sizes for the Fisher's exact test with my current code?

  set.seed(23)
  # p1<-response in controls
  # p2<-response in treated
  # Generating random deviates from a Uniform(0,1) distribution
  control.year1<-(runif(16, min = 0, max = 1))
  treat.year1<-(runif(16, min = 0, max = 1))
  
  #Generating dichotomous response variables for each group
  control.respond1<-ifelse(control.year1<=0.05,1,0)
  treat.respond1<-ifelse(treat.year1<=0.30,1,0)
  
  #Summing number of responses from each group
  control.no1<-sum(control.respond1==0)
  control.yes1<-sum(control.respond1==1)
  treat.no1<-sum(treat.respond1==0)
  treat.yes1<-sum(treat.respond1==1)
  
  #Perform the Fisher's exact test (one sided) with p<=0.01
  fisher<-matrix(c(control.no1,control.yes1,treat.no1,treat.yes1),nrow=2,ncol=2)
  f<-fisher.test(fisher,alternative = "greater”) 


Thanks,
Kelly
