You'd have to live on the island to develop the REAL Puertorrican accent. Puertorricans have a true knack for losing their accent once they are out of the island or if they hang out with hispanics from other Latin American countries (my best friend was hanging out with a group of Mexicans at the University of PR, and soon she was talking just like them!) We can't really control it.
Example: I was born and raised on the island; lived there for 25 years. I now live in FL; speak English at work most of the time except for the Spanish I speak with the Peruvian and Venezuelan who work at the office, live with a guy who's family is Cuban but he was born in PR, too; hang out with his Cuban family on the weekends; talk to my Puertorrican mom on the phone every other day, and am good friends with a Costa Rican and a Colombian-we talk Spanish when we hang out.
When they hear me speak Spanish, latin people think I'm from Uruguay.
I have never been to Uruguay, so God knows what I sound like! *lol*
I don't know why you would want a Puertorrican accent, but if that's what you really want, you need to go to Puerto Rico to get the real thing.

Go on Youtube and check out Puerto Rico sounding people, and imitate them, brother.
Okay, Papa?

Well either live there for a while or hang with a bunch of Puerto ricans...

you could get to know someone from Puerto Rico and study how they talk or have them teach you. It's the best way to learn. It's how you learned to speak English,afterall.
