I teach a sports conditioning class at Golds Gym - a lot has to do with genetics, but you can definitely improve your jumping capability with any number of plyometric exercises. you can find all kinds of examples by googling plyometric, but basically they involve explosive moves such as stepping off a 6 inch platform and immediately leaping vertically as soon as your feet touch the ground. If you're interested to learn more, let me know and I can give you all sorts of exercises.
 
for starters, check out this article:

plus, this article has illustrations of the most common plyometric exercises for increasing jumping height:



If I can think of any other exercises I'll let you know, my notes are at home. I wouldn't do plyometrics by the way more than 2 times a week. plus, if you do them correctly, expect to be very sore!
