What exactly you're looking for?
If you look for multitasking it's just a long press on central Home button

This is not really necessary or recommended with Gingerbread onwards. Android is much better at suspending the threads.

But if you really want to kill it, just download any free task killer.

By the way, the Xperia S has a TON of RAM. I'm not sure why you think you're running into memory issues.

Nope you can do it only in settings.

There are a number of pieces of research that show that killing tasks manually actually has a detrimental effect on device speed and battery life.
Let Android manage this itself.
