If your clock has a round arbour push fit hand it is quite easy to sync. Undo the nut and the minute hand will drop off easily, then gently but firmly pull the hour hand from the centre so as not to put pressure on the hand itself. As soon as the clock chimes, replace the hand exactly on the hour corresponding to the amount of strikes, replace the minute hand pointing exactly to 12 o'clock and replace the nut.
If the hour hand has a square fit arbour and held on by a rivet it is a bit more complicated and I would suggest you take it to your local clockmaker.

It is normal for the average wall clock. Of course, this can be adjusted, but without watch/clockmaking knowledge it is impossible, because first you need to find out which part of the movement is causing early chiming - and there are plenty of them.
Super fine adjustment can be found only in top of the range clocks. Hundreds of hours of craftsmenship are spent to adjust and fine tune them. That's why they cost a fortune.
If you can not live with that early chiming, you have to bring your clock down to the watch/clock repair shop and ask for help. Be ready to pay quite a money, as this job takes the skill and a lot of time.
